Edyalmoor Tour

Tours are held annually of the grounds of the historic Edyalmoor estate, which is protected forever by a conservation easement held by River Fields and the Kentucky Heritage Council. These tours are led by River Fields staff and a biologist with expertise in the collection of plant life on the property. These tours are open to the public.

The Olmsted firm developed plans for the estate in the early 1900s, and some landscape remnants created through that plan remain today.

Originally estimated at 4,000 acres, Edyalmoor is the last remaining segment of the Bate Plantation, once the largest plantation and land holding in Jefferson County. In November 2006, Kenneth W. and Edythe Moore preserved the property forever when they granted a Historic Preservation, Conservation and Scenic Easement, now held jointly by River Fields, Inc. and the Kentucky Heritage Council/State Historic Preservation Office.
