Blackacre State Nature Preserve and Historic Homestead — Attraction in Louisville

We got married at Blackacre and everything was perfect!! We used the Tyler House for getting ready, it’s such a beautiful historic home and was honestly one of the selling points for me. We were given the ability to get married at any location of our choosing which was wonderful, and we chose in front of the big tree by the horses. Highly recommend this spot! The horses almost stole the show. We also used the barn and a tent (which we rented from another company) for reception. Our guests raved about the beautiful grounds and loved visiting with the horses and goats! Recommend bring apples for them as all of our guests had fun feeding them. I want to give a big shout out to Susan and Dennis. They were both so helpful and made sure we were taken care of. And an even bigger shout out to Amy James.

It was only then that I realized they had Valentine's dinner on Feb 10. Hopefully I can go to their Christmas Eve dinner the week after Thanksgiving, and their 4th of July fireworks in March....

I went to Blackacre on Saturday. They have some neat hiking trails, and animals out that you can pet. There was a children's birthday party where they let them feed the animals and the looked like they were having the time of their lives.

However, they had their horses tied up to the fence so people could pet them, but didn't provide them with any water. It was really hot that day and it seemed a little cruel to me to not let them have anything to drink. Also they were covered in flies. There are wipes for horses that have fly repellent that could have been used to prevent at least some of this. At the very least they could have rotated some of them out so they could run around and not be...
