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 it's own right and has just enough modern accommodations (museum, restrooms, gift shop, etc.) that benefit the experience without getting in the way of it's history. I would definitely come back for a guided tour as the home was beautiful and the docents seemed truly knowledgeable regarding the home.
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. They're always fun and well done!
Beautiful house and grounds. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We will be returning in the future.
Breathtakingly gorgeous. Very informed guides. Beautiful place to get lost in thought on a pretty day
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!
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.
Great reinactors playing roles through the house. Was very interesting seeing them cook a meal in the fireplace.
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.
Went here for a book fair. So fun
Nice tour and staff. Very picturesque. Learned a lot about Louisville.
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 Louisville's greatest treasures. Love the many events and !!!book sales!!!Worth frequent return visits.
