Beginning September 1, 2008, Historic Locust Grove will have a new admission price structure to complement the opening of the new permanent exhibit called “A Country Worth Defending” Land and Family in Early Kentucky.

The new admission rates, which admit visitors to the house, grounds and new gallery are: adults $8, children $4, seniors $7.

Admission to the new gallery only is $3 per person.

The new permanent exhibit is part of a 1,200 square foot gallery space addition to the Visitors Center.

The building expands the area available for interpretation of the American Revolution in the West and the people who settled and built this region.

The exhibit also focuses on the surveying work of George Rogers Clark, Louisville’s founder, and his brother-in-law, William Croghan, who built Locust Grove.

A recreated surveyors’ office exhibit in the 1810 log building is incorporated into the new exhibition.

Historic Locust Grove is located at 561 Blankenbaker Lane (between Brownsboro Road and River Road), Louisville, KY and is a National Historic Landmark.
