The Clyde E. Buckley Wildlife Sanctuary-Trust and Audubon Center is nestled among the
rolling Bluegrass Hills, approximately 60 miles east of Louisville,
20 miles west of Lexington, and 10 miles from south of Frankfort
and 10 miles northwest of Versailles.
Three self-guided trails traverse the Center's 374 acres, inviting
visitors to experience a variety of habits, including small
ponds, fields and mixed mesophytic forest along the Kentucky River. A dramatic
gorge exposes limestone rich in marine fossils.
The Emma E. Buckley Center, a farmhouse built in 1901, houses
exhibits and a small gift shop and an area for lectures
and audio-visual presentations. Visitors can also observe wildlife
at feeding stations from the one-way windows of the Marion E.
Lindsey Bird Blind. There is a pavilion for sheltered events
and activities. |
