Riverside, the Farnsley-Moremen Landing

We made a reservation to tour the grounds and house. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly and we enjoyed our time there.

Stopped in before dinner after the torrential floods we have received.
Was surprised by how much it had gone down.

It was late evening and most everyone was gone. The park was quiet and clean. Well maintained.

We had a very enjoyable and interesting visit. Our docent was knowledgeable and friendly. Recommend the house visit to anyone interested in history and the Ohio River.

Here for an evening wedding. Great venue overlooking the Ohio River. Can't comment on cost to rent but there seems to be adequate parking and well manicured grounds.

The historic Riverside Park at Farnsley-Moreman Landing. My family's favorite locale for short leisurely walks to watch the sunset on the west bank of the Ohio River. We like to watch River traffic from here. Our dog loves to walk and run with us even though we must still observe city pet ordinances that is okay by us. We hope that someday a dog run will be developed at this site, the location is excellent for it. Here you can have a picnic, reserve a pavilion, learn about history, take photos of vegetation, plant your own garden, observe wildlife, access Louisville's Loop Trail system or just go back in time and imagine what life was like during an era when river was King in moving agricultural commodities to major markets along the river system. Regularly scheduled Tours and seasonal events take place here too. Check it out!

It is a nice 1-2 hour stop. Definitely worth the small entrance fee. The 1 hour tour is guided and provides some history on river traffic and the homes/farms which relied on it.

There are picnic tables, a trail which goes into town, & an event space.

The short: this farmhouse is a gem of a historical site right on the river's side of the Louisville Loop biking and walking trail.

The long: thank goodness for Living Social for introducing me to new fun places in my own backyard! I got a deal for here recently and finally made it around to visiting with one of my friends. Both of us are Louisville natives but had no idea about the historical farm just a short distance from downtown. I'm kind of a history geek, and everything from the story of how Bourbon is made to commerce on the Ohio River is right up my alley.

Tours start on the half-hour, and at 2:30 we saw a short video about the history of the Farnsley and Moreman families who previously owned the property. Next up was a tour with one of the guides, who told us more about the property while showing us some of the original and period replica items still in the house. Fun fact: the entire house was constructed with items from the property, except for the window glass, which was shipped down from Pittsburgh in barrels filled with molasses as packing material.

The best part about the whole visit was the scenic views of the Ohio River and the tranquility of the whole area. I could just picture steam ships puffing up to dock at the River's edge and bartering for timber for their engines before moving on. History still grows in the gardens with plants and trees from nearly 200 years ago sprouting in the ground.

I will definitely be back this way to see more of the Louisville Loop and hope that if you ride the loop, your visit will include a stop at the Farnsley-Moreman house too!

I went here recently for an ice-cream social (which is not a joke, although I realize now how much it sounds like one) and they had a ton of neat little things set up for kiddos to enjoy. Train rides, food trucks, sprinklers, buckets, pony rides, digging in the dirt...it was a fun time. I didn't actually go in to any of the houses but everything was very beautiful.

Oh yeah, bring some bug spray and, if you burn easy, sunscreen. By the time I was done, my legs were so eaten up that they looked like watermelons at a banana stand, if you know what I mean and I think you do.

We went to the Riverside farnsley-moremen for our school Retreat this summer. It's a nice little stablish mint pretty walk nice buildings good atmosphere friendly people real down-home country type feel to it. I would like to take my family there one day walk around look at the sites in atmosphere. I would like to go back and I highly recommend you do too

My babysitter took our 8 and 13 yesterday and LOVED the in depth tour and property. The staff are passionate and educated to the history and it shows in the story and tour.

THANK YOU BEING OPEN DURING THIS TIME!!!
