ABOUT: Historic Locust Grove is a National Historic Landmark whose mission is to preserve and interpret the remaining 55-acres of William Croghan’s estate, Locust Grove, with its circa 1792 historic house, grounds, and collection of period furnishings as examples of early nineteenth-century America, and to share the stories of the many people who contributed to the history of the site, emphasizing the lives and experiences of General George Rogers Clark, Revolutionary War figure and founder of Louisville, the Croghan family, and the nearly 100 people enslaved at Locust Grove from 1792-1856. Locust Grove tells the story of Louisville’s history through agriculture, conservation, distilling, and special events, while offering diverse experiences that capture the story of the site and educates the community and visitors about where Louisville begins.
