The Olmsted is a great event venue! I have attended and worked at several events here and they've been awesome! I worked the Derby Poker Celebrity Bourbon Bash here two years in a row and had a wonderful time. The drinks were good, the food was great, and the surroundings were beautiful. I love the architecture of the historic building, which was constructed between 1925 and 1927. If you're looking for a large event venue for a wedding, a gala or fundraiser, or any other kind of private event, I think The Olmsted is perfect!

I love this venue! It's beautiful. I have been to a few weddings but was here for the BBB Torch Awards luncheon today. The staff were all so friendly and attentive during lunch. Plus, the lunch was pretty good! There is a lot of construction and the roads were in rough shape. There were a lot of signs posted to help with getting to the right spot. I think this was a great thing to do.

Yummy and pretty table favors. Sorry to say i have eaten most of the treat.

I had the opportunity to visit this spot for a Today's Woman awards reception. It was for their Most Admired Woman awards. Such a nice event, in a classy space! I have never been here before but always heard great things about it. The campus is beautiful and the inside of the building has lots of natural lighting as well. I can see why lots of locals decide to use this space for their events. The parking lot was close to the building as well, which I know is a plus for a great deal of people. I hope to enjoy another event at this gorgeous spot again soon.

See all

It's been 10+ years since I last visited Locust Grove, so I was excited to recently, when I stopped…read moreby for their annual book sale fundraiser. First, what a beautiful spot! I only got to see a sliver of its many acres, but my blood pressure dropped just from driving up to its main building. And if you are a bibliophile, don't miss this annual book sale! The proceeds benefit Locust Grove, and it boasts an awesome, overflowing selection of used books. I got there right when it opened at 10 a.m., and by 10:15, everyone was shoulder to shoulder. I came away, though, with a box of books for my and my family, costing just $30. The volunteers were great too, taking everyone's stacks of books to set aside while they shopped for more. I would love to come back for a proper tour and to bring my kids. Can't believe this site is just 10 minutes from my house and that I haven't properly enjoyed it yet. I'm excited to learn more about it!

Before heading out, we checked Locust Grove's website and it listed tour times with no indication…read morethat the main house was closed for installation of new HVAC. Nothing on their website made any indication that tours were not available. The house and museum are normally open Tuesday to Sunday in February but with the HVAC work, the house has been closed for two months (January and February). It is scheduled to reopen on MARCH 1st. Obviously, others must have known the house/museum was closed as we only saw 3 or 4 other non-staff visitors while we were there. That said, we did enjoy a 12 minute video presentation in the visitors center and did have a chance to see exhibits detailing the site's history - also in the visitors center. After the visitors center, we did a walking tour of the site and read all the signs explaining the purpose of each building. The walking tour was interesting. We need to return sometime after March 1st and actually get a tour of the main house and museum.

I wanted to see a lot more than I had time to see and when I found out I was coming here for work, I knew I was going to have more time in the evenings to see things. My work area for this week was right up the street from here. After I was done for the day, I made my way to the grounds to give a quick look around. I was one of two people in the area for the time that I visited which made for an easy and somewhat fast visit. I came here to take in the area and take a few pictures. I would have loved to have visited the museum portion of this, but they have some very odd hours that make it hard to visit if you are from out of town. Something like one Sunday a month. You can, it appears, rent the space for events and have a school field trip. This is on the National Historic Landmark rolls as it is the oldest ornamental water tower in the world. The water tower was almost totally destroyed by a tornado way back and they had to rebuild some of it. But for the most part, what you see, is what was there originally. Completed in 1860 it has served Louisville for years by supplying water to the city. Mimicking buildings you might find in Europe. A tower rising out of a Corinthian portico that holds up several statues. It's a beautiful place to spend your day to pass the time. Beautiful grounds to get your steps in. Benches to sit and watch the water flow on by, and some beautiful views.

Great place to visit. Must see if you are in Louisville. Know the process to get river water to be…read moretap water . Enjoyed and learned a lot. The tour guide is very knowledgeable. Two thumbs up.

A credit card is needed for the reservation. You have 3 hours ahead of time to cancel for a full refund: Five minutes before our reservation, I got a text to head to our course.

We were there for first time. However it was Saturday evening and it was pretty much busy and I didn't expect to see that many kids and families around. It is nothing wrong. I thought it was only for 21+ for this place and maybe it was the after-hours. Anyway, we check in at the kiosk and told us where to go. We went to the spot and found out that we are going to stand in the line and wait to check in again for our balls to play. It was quite difficult because we spend a lot of time standing and waiting before we could play next courses. After the first course, we decided to end it early and get the money back because we didn't know what to except. Unfortunately they do not give the money back but they give you free game to come back in other time when it is not too busy which we will definitely do that. One other thing is when you buy beer. You will have to move away from the bar because it was reservation for people who sit at the bar. I find it odd. But I guess that what it is. I didnt make sense to me about the reservation for play because I felt that it was too many people at that point. I would come back when it is not too busy.

For the third year in a row, we attended the Easter egg hunt yesterday. Eggs are strewn all over the large lawn, and this event is large enough to feel like a community event while not being too big. It's still intimate and special. Important to know: This Easter egg hunt starts promptly at 10 a.m. If you arrive at 10:03 you'll miss out on eggs. We've also attended the Halloween event, complete with a small Halloween parade for kids in costumes along the driveway, and the Christmas open house with Santa. The PD House is large and stately but very welcoming. I love that it has become a symbol and gathering point for the neighborhood. It can also be rented out for events. I've passed by some beautiful weddings being held there. We are so lucky to have this landmark so close!

It is also the annual site for the Crescent Hill 4th of July Celebration. They allow visitors to come inside to view the second floor and view raffle/silent auction items. The bathrooms have been updated and provide a mix of old and new. One room is a perfect bridal suite area with a 3-way mirror. Rentals of Peterson Dumesnil also include beautiful outdoor spaces, whether for intimate vow exchanges or to increase seating space with tables and bartenders on the front lawn. Parking is available nearby the space, primarily as street parking. Kudos to those on the Foundation for taking great care of this space and making it available for the public.
