🗣️ The afternoon lecture series also kicks off at the start of the month. Hear stories of Locust Grove from the ground up… literally. Every lecture dives into a different aspect of the property’s landscapes.

📖 On Thursday, March 2, the historic site will be hosting the first event for the year’s Louisville Coalition on the History of Enslavement Book Discussion Series.

💲The spring book sale will be held March 23-26. Find new treasures for your bookshelf, including everything from novels to history volumes.
