Temple Day at Bernheim Forest

May 31, 2015 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Temple Day at Bernheim Forest Sunday, May 31The third annual Temple Day at Bernheim Forest, sponsored by the Brotherhood, will take place on Sunday, May 31 at the Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest, a 14,000 acrearboretum, forest, and nature preserve located 25 miles south of Louisville.

It was founded in 1929 by Isaac Wolfe Bernheim, a German immigrant, a member of The Temple, and a successful brewer whose whiskey distillery business established the I.W. Harper brand. He purchased the land in 1928 at $1 an acre because most of it had been stripped for mining iron ore. The Frederick Law Olmsted landscape architecture firm started designing the park in 1931 and it opened in 1950. Bernheim Forest was given to the people of Kentucky in trust and is the largest privately owned natural area in the state.
