Review:

Locust Grove is an 18th century farm and mansion listed as a U.S. National Historic Landmark.

The 55-acre site includes a 1792 Georgian mansion built by William and Lucy Clark Croghan. Mrs. Crogan was the sister of William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and it was at this house that the famous explorers stayed after returning from their expedition.

Several U.S. Presidents including James Monroe and Andrew Jackson also visited the mansion. Artist James Audubon was also a guest here. Purchased by Jefferson County and the State of Kentucky, the mansion was opened to the public in 1964 after extensive restoration.
