Description

Blackacre, Kentucky’s first State Nature Preserve, was established in 1979 and has influenced hundreds of thousands of school students, teachers, and volunteers with environmental education programs through the public school system. The 170 acre farm, donated by Judge Macauley L. Smith and his wife Emilie Strong Smith, was their home for 32 years. The Blackacre State Nature Preserve and Historic Homestead is managed by the Blackacre Conservancy, a 501(c)3, nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving a special piece of Kentucky’s natural legacy and early settlement history for visitors of all ages.

Located only 25 minutes from downtown Louisville, Blackacre is a haven and a resource for its community. Nearly three hundred acres filled with rolling fields, forests, and streams surround the historic homestead, which lies at the heart of the Blackacre Nature Preserve. The Moses Tyler Homestead, which dates to approximately 1785, shelters an 18th-century stone cottage, spring house, barn, and a pre-Civil War farmhouse.

Visitors to Blackacre can explore the grounds and trails, watch and feed the horses, cows, and goats in their open pastures, tour its historic homestead, and participate in many of the educational and recreational programs and events Blackacre has to offer. Blackacre is also a partner of the JCPS system, hosting outdoor education programs and field trips during the school year to both JCPS and other local private schools.
