Nestled off Tucker Station Road, Blackacre’s historic homestead captures the idyllic rustic charm and breathtaking beauty of years past – perfect for weddings of all sizes.
Established in 1795, the homestead includes a recently restored 1844 farmhouse, double-crib barn along with 280-acres of rolling meadows, fields and lush forests. Our open-vendor policy allows you the opportunity to plan and create your special day as you envisioned.
With the Bridal package, the homestead is closed to the public for you and your guests to celebrate your special day!
We are located 25 minutes east of downtown Louisville off 265 and Taylorsville Road.
