Completed in 1816, Farmington was the center of a 550 acre hemp plantation owned by the Speed family and sustained by nearly 60 slaves. The site explores the history of the family, the enslaved population, and the strong friendship with Abraham Lincoln. Tour the new Lincoln exhibits, the many outbuildings, and recently restored historic home.

Great Staff. A Must see attraction. Who knew there was a plantation here in Louisville!
My children are 9 & 11 year old boys & they enjoyed going to Farmington. We loved the self-directed walking tour & the inside tour of the house. It was very interesting.
Farmington is a rare and often overlooked gem in our community that tells a wonderful story about some of the early pioneers of Louisville history. The new spotlight theater exhibit is cutting edge and awesome for all ages - everyone should support and visit this site!!
It is like stepping back in time. The house is beautifully preserved and it comes to life with the stories from the guides. It gives one pause to think about how different daily life was almost 200 years ago. Well worth a visit!
Informative, exciting, and important to Louisville. Farmington museum is a testament to the city and its amazing history.
Fabulous Lincoln Exhibit just in time for the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial. Great place for school children to learn about the connection of Lincoln to Louisville.
