Springtime is just a few weeks away, and Locust Grove’s 2023 event season is in full bloom. The historic site is opening back up and has a few new experiences in store for guests.

🏠 Guided house tours are back in session starting Wednesday, March 1. Take a step back in time to learn about the free and enslaved people who worked at Locust Grove.

🗣️ 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.
