Welcome To Blackacre

The Blackacre 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. At Blackacre, 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 preserve’s land use history integrates education, agriculture, nature and historic preservation with visitor programs, a few private residences, a neighborhood garden, and community activities.

Terror Trail: Adults and Teens only

Barnyard Spooktacular: All ages welcome 

Children, families and scaredy-cats should head to the not-so spooky Barnyard Spooktacular where ghost stories, face painting, inflatables, concessions, games and a rock ‘n roll graveyard promise less fright and more fun.  Courageous characters will encounter the terrifying on the haunted trail, so be prepared for thrills that keep you awake at night!  Blackacre’s ¾ mile Terror Trail will soon be known as Louisville’s newest and scariest haunt.  It will inspire fear in the fearless, dread in the daring, and horror in the heroic!
