Locust Grove - Louisville History Preserved

Locust Grove is a national historic landmark located only 6 miles from downtown Louisville. This beautifully preserved 694 acre farm has been around since 1790. Originally, this scenic property was owned by William Croghan, who happened to be the surveying partner to George Rogers Clark, the founder of Louisville.

This incredible vintage home is a great place to visit with the entire family and offers scheduled tours daily. Locust Grove was home to George Rogers Clark from 1809 to 1818, and tells the story of his early Kentucky history, western expansion, and everyday life on the frontier via several exhibits.

On Saturday, January 21st from 7pm to 10pm, Locust Grove will be hosting its annual Historical Ball in the Audubon Room auditorium. There will be live music provided and dances will be called by Tom and Toni Tumbush. Parents have the opportunity to share some Louisville history with their children, while providing them with a unique form of entertainment. Not to mention, there is free admission for children 14 and under.

Locust Groves Historical Ball encourages people to dress in vintage clothing from any era during this event. Most children love to play dress up, so imagine the fun and memories that will be created when your entire family gets in costume and steps back into history.

If your family wants an earlier start, tours start at 10:15 am and run till 3:15pm. There will be plenty of time to take a tour, have a meal and relax before attending the ball.
