The Kentucky State Quarter design honors both My Old Kentucky Home and a thoroughbred horse. In 1852, songwriter Stephen Foster wrote My Old Kentucky Home while visiting Federal Hill, a mansion near Bardstown, Kentucky. In addition to the mansion, the Kentucky State Quarter features a thoroughbred horse in the foreground. The Kentucky derby has been run since 1875 and is the oldest and most prestigious horse race in the nation.
