Homeplace on Green River & Tebbs Bend
Homeplace on Green River, located in Taylor County, is a 227-acre farm being restored as a permanent reminder for all ages of the role agriculture has played, and is continuing to play, in our lives. The idea of Homeplace on Green River was conceived in the late 1990s. The property was purchased and Homeplace was establish in 2001.
As Kentucky’s Outdoor Classroom, Homeplace serves both public and private schools. Since January 2016, hundreds of students from all three counties, as well as from Lindsey Wilson College, have used Homeplace as an outdoor classroom. Homeplace is an always changing classroom for all ages.
Homeplace has more than five miles of well-marked trails on the adjacent Tebbs Bend/ Green River Nature Area, including the restored Blue Heron Wetlands, forests, and prairies where wood ducks, cranes, eagles, wild turkeys, beavers, deer, otters, muskrats and many other species of birds and animals may be seen from the trails. There are two entry points to the trails, one at Homeplace and one on Tebbs Bend Road at the historic toll house shortly before crossing the Green River bridge.
