In the beginning process of writing my proposal I had a hard time forming my thoughts because I had no experience whatsoever writing one. I had no idea what I wanted to do research over; I didn’t even know where to begin. It actually took me over 2 days to decide what I wanted to research! After strenuous hours of research, I came across what became my current topic, The Henry Clay Estate. I chose The Henry Clay Estate, known as ashland, not only because of it’s beauty, but also because of the plethora of history there was over it. This made the process a lot easier. It was surprising because I hadn’t known that this historic site was in Lexington until I stumbled upon it while researching The Mary Todd House; The Mary Todd House was one of my choices before I decided on choosing Ashland as my topic. I felt that The M.T. House lacked historical depth and it just didn’t seem as intriguing as Ashland; However, there was a connection between the two. Choosing a topic is usually the hardest part for me so it was a relief that I found one that I stuck with.
