Historic Locust Grove
A late 18th-century Georgian estate and the final home of George Rogers Clark, the founder of Louisville.
Historic Locust Grove is a brick Georgian estate built around 1790. General George Rogers Clark, a Revolutionary War commander who founded Louisville, spent his later years here, and the Lewis and Clark Expedition also stopped here on its return. Guided tours cover restored 18th-century furniture, the kitchen and the garden, and the visitor center has exhibits on frontier history. Adult admission is about US$15, and the site is closed on Mondays. It is roughly 12 kilometers (about 7.5 miles) northeast of downtown.
