Riverside, The Farnsley-Moremen Landing
Riverside, The Farnsley-Moremen Landing, Historic riverfront estate in Louisville, United States.
The Farnsley-Moremen House features a red brick structure with Greek Revival architecture, standing on a 300-acre property along the Ohio River.
Built in 1837, the estate served as a vital riverboat landing from 1820 to 1890, facilitating trade and transportation between Kentucky and neighboring states.
The property reveals the agricultural practices of 19th-century Kentucky through exhibits displaying traditional farming methods and river commerce activities.
The site provides guided tours of the historic house, gardens, and grounds every Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 4:30 PM.
The landing earned the name 'Soap Landing' as Rachel Moremen produced and sold lye soap to passing riverboats during the 1800s.
