Blackacre Conservancy, Inc.

Blackacre's unique setting offers the community both a nearly 300 - acre nature preserve and a historic homestead. The nature preserve can be enjoyed by hiking our many miles of trails through restored Kentucky forest and native wildflower and prairie fields, past waterfalls and stone fences. History buffs will enjoy our 1844 farmhouse, late 1700's stone cottage, and 1795 double crib Appalachian barn, among other historic structures. In homage to the farming heritage of the homestead, animals have returned to Blackacre - cows, horses and goats, all of which are available to the public for feeding. Our educational and entertainment activities focus on farming and farm animals, vegetable and herb gardening, landscaping and horticulture, environmental issues, eighteenth and nineteenth century history, and Kentucky culture.
