Top 10 Things to do in East Louisville, Kentucky (KY)

June 10, 2021 Nicolette Lion

Each year, horse enthusiasts hoof it to Louisville and Churchill Downs, the legendary home of the Kentucky Derby. In addition to equestrian endeavors and bluegrass roots, Louisville boasts a range of exciting attractions the whole family can enjoy. Stroll through Central Park, in the historic district, to people-watch and get a real feel for the city. Visit other nearby parks for hiking, biking and fossil finding. Baseball fans will love the Louisville Slugger Museum, a celebration of the sport's legends. The museum is easy to spot, just look for the humongous bat that leans against the building.

We bought the 3 hour unlimited pass and were able to do several races, throw axes for an hour, and smash things. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Monty and Riley really tried to help us improve our ax throwing... with various degrees of success ????

Historic Locust Grove

Built in 1792, Locust Grove, a three story brick Georgian home, is the final home of General George Rogers Clark, the founder of Louisville, and conqueror of the Old Northwest Territory. The house was built by his sister Lucy Croghan and her husband William Croghan who raised 8 children here and hosted their brother William Clark, of Lewis and Clark fame, as well as Presidents Monroe, Jackson and Taylor, Vice President Arron Burr, statesmen such as Cassius Clay, and several artists including John James Audubon. This National Historic Landmark has been restored to reflect the elegance of General Clark's time at Locust Grove. The 55 acres of gardens, fields and woodlands are open for exploration daily.

Reviewed By KibesGreen - Broxbourne, United Kingdom

Originally built around 1792, the house has been carefully restored and now represents the early 1800s. The house and grounds are very interesting, with furniture and decoration that lets you see what life would have been like 200 years ago. The people that have visited Locust Grove make an impressive list and add to the history of the house. Presidents Andrew Jackson and James Monroe, and Lewis & Clarke are just some of the distinguished guests. As with all houses of this period the museum documents all of the people associated with property, including the enslaved workers, who at one time numbered between 50 and 70. Also the native Americans who would have been in conflict with the pioneers who built the mansion on their land.
