Main House
A 19th-Century Farm with 21st-Century Sensibilities
Built to last, our Main House had been standing for decades before the outbreak of the Civil War. We’ve preserved its elegance and historic charm while renovating it to meet today’s expectations—updating the interior, but not so much that the original owners couldn’t find their way to the kitchen.
Current owners Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson collaborated with Bittners, Louisville’s oldest continually operating design firm, to create a relaxing canvas for sharing their contemporary art collection with visitors and overnight guests.
Tour the Main House
When it’s not occupied by events or guests, the Main House is open for tours. Along with its adjacent Smokehouse, the Main House is listed in the National Historic Register. Step inside to take in the wide-ranging collection of contemporary art from living artists, from hand sketches to digital media. The Main House rotates exhibitions, so you can find something new and different at nearly every visit.
Tours starting in March 2020
