Locust Grove — Attraction in Louisville

Lacks pertinent information: Source Wikipedia

"In 1783, Clark, who reputedly hated Native Americans and once declared that he would like to see "the whole race of Indians extirpated, that for his part he would never spare Man woman or child of them on whom he could lay his hands", publicly proposed that a 2,000-strong force be mustered in Virginia to attack Native Americans in the Ohio Valley. Clark argued that this proposed expedition would show "that [the United States] are always able to crush [Native Americans] at our pleasure". He also once told Native Americans that if they declared war on the United States, they "should know that the next thing would be the Tomahawk" with "Your Women & Children given to the Dogs to eat". The proposed expedition was never carried out due to budgetary concerns."

Nowhere is this information available at your museum. In fact you describe him as a great negotiator with the Indians. He advocated for genocide. He would feed children to dogs.

As keepers of a historical site you should be deeply ashamed. Really, ask God if you think you should laud and have a statue of a man who did not love but murdered HIS greatest creation out of hate and greed. You praise and protect...

A beautiful place in the world. Covid is having an effect, but even then, the peacefulness of this place is epic. There, now I ruined it for everyone. When I met my husband, 30 years ago, on our first date, we were both talking about this magical hideaway that we just had to go to. It was dark out, but we were already so stricken that we both had to share our special place. I didn’t mention where we were going, but as he offered me the chance to show him my favorite place first, I gave him directions until we got there. As we arrived, he shared that it was where he was taking us, too. Two years later, we were married here, and a lovely occasion it was. Our kids roamed the nearby wooded path as though it was their personal “Pooh Woods”. They still bring friends to share in the uniquely calming atmosphere of Locust Grove. 100% Kentucky. Yes, some of the history is dark here. As dark as Kentucky’s own checkered past. Let that go, if you can. For this land was settled by people brave enough to walk to or from New Orleans on foot, if need be. George Rogers Clark’s sister. And Lewis and Clark, no doubt, stopped on their way out West. It’s all there. And you can feel it. Do yourself a favor, and...

LG has a wonderful campus. Very well maintained and clean spaces. The indoor museum is super interesting. Really well done and the information is clear to read / understand . Similar to many southern museums, they were a little too positive about the whole enslavement situation. But it was better than some. The tour of the property was excellent. Very well kept and preserved. Each room in the main house was very interesting and properly staged.

Our tour guide was one of the biggest highlights if not the biggest. His name was Dave, and he was the man. Knew his stuff, and was able to answer just about every question my group had. His involvement shows, with his love for the space. We were very happy to have gotten him as the guide.

Thank you...
