A beautiful, peaceful place. A time when life was more gentle and peaceful, and humans had time to dream, wonder, explore, and go on journeys of adventure and discovery! One of my favorite places for years and years. A perfect must, when decorated for Christmas!

Its full of education, nostalga, and history, and Im proud to be one of the reinactors here-- learning about lives, and telling poignant stories from an enslaved womans pount of view. The Locust Grove staff is incredibly knowledgeable, and talented, in bringing you an authentic; immersive experience!

Quiet beautiful place with well taken care of grounds. Would have loved to tour buildings but was not there when open. Great place to take pictures.

A beautiful place in the world. Covid is having an effect, but even then, the peacefulness of this place is epic. There, now I ruined it for everyone. When I met my husband, 30 years ago, on our first date, we were both talking about this magical hideaway that we just had to go to. It was dark out, but we were already so stricken that we both had to share our special place. I didn’t mention where we were going, but as he offered me the chance to show him my favorite place first, I gave him directions until we got there. As we arrived, he shared that it was where he was taking us, too. Two years later, we were married here, and a lovely occasion it was. Our kids roamed the nearby wooded path as though it was their personal “Pooh Woods”. They still bring friends to share in the uniquely calming atmosphere of Locust Grove. 100% Kentucky. Yes, some of the history is dark here. As dark as Kentucky’s own checkered past. Let that go, if you can. For this land was settled by people brave enough to walk to or from New Orleans on foot, if need be. George Rogers Clark’s sister. And Lewis and Clark, no doubt, stopped on their way out West. It’s all there. And you can feel it. Do yourself a favor, and check it out.

Beautiful grounds and wonderful volunteers! Everyone is so happy to share their knowledge with you. The kitchen is my favorite area, though the house--which has been lovingly restored--is really nice, too! Locust Grove really brings history to life. Definitely keep an eye out for events here, too. Theyre always fun and well done!

Went on the tour today and this was one of the best historical home tours that I ever went on. The tour guide Troy was exceptional and made the tour interesting, fascinating, and a true learning historical experience. Totally recommend and should be a must-do on your visit to the area.

The garden fair was wonderful, very hot! Food trucks,the live music, were wonderful! Great place to visit!

Took my awesome pregnancy pictures with my wife here.

Really nice historical site with free audio tours. If you come on a nice day, you can walk around all of the property and get a good history lesson. Dogs are welcome for walking but please clean up after them and keep them leashed!

Enjoyed learning about George Rodgers Clark and his older sisters family.

Great place. We enjoyed the tour of the house.

We go to the Grove during the Jane Austen festival annually and it is the perfect venue for the event. The house and ground are a step back in time right in the city.

I love this place. It is so beautiful! We did family photos here last week and they turned out beautifully! They also have a book sale here once a year that is awesome, they always have great finds and prices!! My friends and I like to visit in the spring and have picnics, too! It is so nice!

Wonderfully restored home with a gracious and educated staff. I highly recommend a visit.

Their Market Fair they host in the fall is a great event. My daughter and I love it. History really comes alive. We never miss it.

Great Historical Place to visit. Very well preserved and our guide Hannah was very knowledgeable and she explained very well about ancient customs and culture. Collection of ancient furniture, life style etc. They have paid tour guide and I highly recommend taking one of those. 1 to 2 hour will be enough to explore this place ( Again it depends upon your interest in the history) Free parking and staff was really good and helpful.

Beautiful historic park for a quiet picnic.

I love Locust Grove! It is absolutely beautiful here and it is a great place to go if youre trying to catch some fresh air and good positive vibes from others around you there. Most importantly of all is that it is always clean! I have made at least 12 visits here... that speaks volume people, check it out!

Lots of history at Locus Grove...frontier America, Kentucky, George Rogers Ckark who founded Louisville, his brother William of Lewis & Ckark fame, and more. Great docent tour. Museum exhibit is interesting, not too long. With a AAA discount, the tour was only $6...well worth it for an hour and a half or so. Knowledgable staff. Very easy to get to. On the way down Blankenbaker Lane, you will drive by Zachary Taylors boyhood home, and President Taylor is buried just a mile or so away in the Zachary Taylor National Cemetary on US 42.

Very nice experience for my family.

The staff were super nice. The chef was outstanding and was nice enough to make a special off the menu order of shrimp etouffee just for me. It was delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant.

All fine here ...the virus affects everything

We love visiting Locust Grove and exploring the grounds and learning about George Rogers Clark and his family. Beautiful Louisville landmark!

Nice tour and staff. Very picturesque. Learned a lot about Louisville.

My daughter loved running around on the grounds and running around the trees. Great spot for a family get together or a picnic in the grass. The house tour was interesting as well. I was recommended visiting by Townsend & Sons, glad to have made the trip here while in Kentucky.

Excellent tour of this historic home and grounds. I was amazed at how many leaders of the revolutionary war visited or stayed here. I dont think of Kentucky or Indiana being involved in the defeat of the British, but low and behold, a great deal of decisive battles took place in this area and many of this countrys founders moved west into the frontier and passed through Locust Grove. Our tour guide, Rebecca, was a wealth of historical knowledge although her last day at Locust Grove was the day we toured.

Lovely venue to learn and enjoy history. Market Faire and Jane Austen Fest have been highlights of my year.

This place is beautiful and has really nice events occasionally hosted. I dont really have any complaints but it isnt something super memorable either.

I really enjoy visiting here. Just know it is $8 a person not per vehicle.

Locust Grove is a beautiful historic site! Tour the 18th c. house to learn about topics like the later life of Revolutionary War hero George Rogers Clark and the early exploration of Mammoth Cave. A visitors center houses modern facilities, a history exhibit, and an excellent gift shop. The grounds are home to great events throughout the year, from book & antique sales to historic reenactments, and (my favorite) the Jane Austen Festival every July.

Enjoyed picnic with my 5 year old on the grounds. Fun place to explore. Cant wait to visit again! And the volunteers are so friendly and welcoming. And the fencing demo was my sons favorite part of the day!

Wonderful history and great staff. Worth your time!

We attended a re-enactment event. This was our first visit to Locust Grove. We really enjoyed our visit. The docents were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They answered all of our questions. The home is beautifully restored, as well as the out buildings. The grounds are well kept and gorgeous.

Beautiful, serviceable historic landmark still working for the citizens. Thanks for supporting Trees Louisville.

We attended the Jane Austen Festival at Locust Grove. The grounds are so beautiful and all the staff are very friendly. Touring the home was such a great learning experience and it is like taking a step back into history. This is an unforgettable experience!

My wife and I had a good time we where the only two in our tour which made it better to hear some extra stories and more details then a normal tour would have gotten to hear. Thank you Susan for the personal experience tour hope your hip gets better.

Fascinating tour, great gift shop, and the spring book sale was awesome.

Beautiful historical site. I enjoy coming here for special events, such as the Jane Austen Festival. Very much recommend!

Fun and informative. Gift shop has adorable stuff! Fun games for the kids and everyone was super inviting /inclusive.

Absolutely beautiful, we were there for the 18th century market and it was so educational. We loved it!

Came for Jane Austin festival. Beautiful, well cared for historic site. Knowledgeable docents. A lovely experience.

Great tour. Very informative. Got to see the entire inside of the house. The house has been restored in excellent historical detail. Rodger was a very knowledgeable tour guide.

A pleasant, informative tour all Louisville folks should experience.

Love this place! Its so beautiful.

Nice historical home.

We had a great time! Shout out to Bob Boone for being a wonderful guide. Go visit Locust Grove ASAP.

This is the second time Ive attended this location for a wedding its very beautiful. A nice peaceful and quiet location outdoors.

Im a 1st person interpreter here. But without that bias, this place is a major treasure you HAVE to see.

One of my favorite places! I go there several times a year, and enjoy it just as much every time. The ambiance and the history are priceless!

Great site if you love history, there is tons to learn and always something going on.

Awesome historical grounds! Enjoyed all the reenactors!

A very nice historical George Rogers Clark home, and grounds. I want to go back when it is warmer, so I can enjoy it even more. It was very cold Sunday afternoon.

Beautiful historical home. Saw Alexander Hamiltons great great great great ect grandson speak tonight. He was a great speaker. Lots of Hamilton facts and amusing anecdotes.

Love their antique and flower shows.

Very happy that this farm and structures were preserved for new generations to observe and study. Tour guide was a wealth of information and ready to interact with visitors. More preservations such as this farm are needed and would be appreciated.

Great historical house. We had a wonderful personal tour by a docent of the house and the out buildings. If you like historical homes, visit this one. If youre not a fan, then the one hour tour may be long

Love all the employees at Locust Grove & volunteers ! Lovely place for peace & quiet. If you havent visited Please do !

They have a handicap ramp. A sidewalk. There is no handrail. There is no guardrail. So falling off the edge is a good possibility. Rolling off the edge with a wheelchair is a great possibility. Tumbling down the hill, although its a small one, and then hitting the concrete will be pretty bad.

This is one of my favorite historic sites to visit. The staff is welcoming and informative. They have a cast of volunteers who study and portray carefully-researched versions of the members of the historic household. I am always impressed with their attention to the details of history and their interaction with the public. Although a small site, they host several large history events throughout the year, and the cost is quite low for the quality of the site. :)

I recently did a wedding here and this place is amazing!!! The facility is beautiful and the options are out of this world. This is a full service, all in one wedding stop. so many options here, you wont regret using them.

Very beautiful grounds, informative map guide you to buildings ..clean all around. Small museum based mostly on the life of Clark the explorer and his visit here. Everything is free except if you want to see inside house. We walked the ground to see slave quarters, kitchen and various other buildings...also enjoyed museum. Definitely worth a quick stop off if nearby.

Great tour, really good guide. Beautiful grounds. Worth the trip.

Great stories of the day, nice restoration of the buildings. Great volunteer staff!

My wife and I were searching for something different to do, tired of the same old thing, going to the mall, watching a movie; we needed something new. We stumbled across an article, and decided to give it a shot. Its full of history, and definitely an amazing place to just walk around, even if you dont care about the history. We loved it so much, that we decided that THIS was the place we were going to get married, and so we did, under the weeping willow.

One of the best 18th century historic locations in the United States. Keep an eye on their calendar, they have many events and lectured that are superb.

Nice place we got there to late to take the tours

Beautiful location, fantastic tour, but our favorite part was talking to the staff. They obviously love what they do and gave us the best possible experience.

Very well restored historical property with knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Good people and clean place.

Beautiful grounds with knowledgeable staff!

Beautiful historic home. Locust Grove is a wonderful place to visit and take someone along with you to enjoy this lovely place. The volunteers are so knowledgeable and a trip there will be well spent time. Allow plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful grounds.

Great experience. Things of interest for all ages. Tour was awesome! It really takes you back in time. Well worth it!

Beautiful

Was a wonderful time. Did have an accident upon first arrival, my daughter had fallen and hit her head and they were very kind and helpful in calming her down before the tour.

Visiting the historic grounds of Locust Grove is always a pleasure.It is always very peaceful and also a relaxing place to visit.Many high quality activities and events also take place here.Inside the visitor center you can also find local artists work for sale if youre looking for one of a kind gifts.

Continuing and keeping alive the history that has occurred here...

I went to a Art Fair, walked the grounds were it was located. Never been to Locust Grove before. Will have to go back to see it.

We went for the fall market, so did not get the normal experience, but it was well worth the trip. It was a lot of fun to take a step back in time with the reenactors and their shops and demonstrations. The property is beautiful in its own right and has just enough modern accommodations (museum, restrooms, gift shop, etc.) that benefit the experience without getting in the way of its history. I would definitely come back for a guided tour as the home was beautiful and the docents seemed truly knowledgeable regarding the home.

Great place to visit. Pat, a staff member, was very informed and amazing!!

Excellent place to visit. The tour of the house was wonderfully done. Great effort was put into historical restoration. After the tour, the ability to look over the grounds on you own (at your own pace) is fulfilling. A really nice place for families. I would go again.I would check if there is a school group going. We were unable to watch the introduction because of numerous school groups. They did give us the link to watch it, but the experience was not the same.

Very happy that this farm and structures were preserved for new generations to observe and study. Tour guide was a wealth of information and ready to interact with visitors. More preservations such as this farm are needed and would be appreciated.

Nice little local museum. Id wondered about the history of Louisville, and this will take you through it at the family level. Doesnt avoid the uncomfortable topics like slavery and interaction with the people who were here first. The museum doesnt quite flow, unfortunately, and youll find yourself jumping forward and back chronologically as you walk through.

Lovely historical spot.

Very good tour. Super informative!

I took my mother and 2 children (11 & 12). We all had a wonderful visit and highly recommend it to others. Our visit was enhanced by the presence of live characters. We especially enjoyed the presentation in the leather shop. Very realistic and informative!

Wedding party bride and groom taking them to the sealback hotel

Beautiful place. Was only there for the book sale, which was great, but looking forward to going back to walk around more.

School tour of the house was fantastic!

If love history and scenery this is the place to visit!!

Nicely restored and maintained 18th century home and grounds

Went to The Emiline Strong Smith Chamber Music Series. The event was entertaining and educational. The was beautifully preserved and property is amazing.

Went here on July 4 and got in free. History very well laid out. Beautiful house and grounds, very pleasant staff. Appreciated the reenactors and the reading of the declaration. One of Louisvilles greatest treasures. Love the many events and !!!book sales!!!...Worth frequent return visits.

Beautiful place & restoration. Excellent & friendly staff & volunteers. Love it!

Amazing historical place.1. Visit Jane Austen Festival.2. Visit during Fourth of July.3. Beautiful and amazing history.4. Check out the gift shop.

It was my sons first time going and he loved it! He wasnt thrilled about the house, but loved the museum because he could touch things in there. He learned that houses did not always have air conditioning or bathrooms.

Loved it. Staff was very knowledgeable.

Beautiful grounds and gardens

I had to send buffalo burger back too salty. The staff were great but two managers decided to have a power wow with a staff member made me uncomfortable.

Love this place, a taste of history

Beautiful event space, very nice staff, and great place to donate books, CDs, and DVDs. As a Professional Organizer of homes and events, I am a big admirer of Locust Grove!!
