Historical Note
L. Leroy Highbaugh, Sr. and L. Leroy Highbaugh, Jr. were real estate developers in Louisville, Kentucky operating under the name Highbaugh Enterprises, Inc. The Highbaughs acquired the 1,000+ acre Hurstbourne Farms estate from Mrs. Sallie Hert in 1949, changing the name to Highbaugh Farms. The Highbaughs lived on the property for a number of years. In 1965 they began to develop the estate into a community to be known as Hurstbourne, with plans for a shopping center, offices, schools, and churches. The former residence of Mrs. Hert, known as Lyndon Hall, became the club house of the Hurstbourne Country Club complex. In addition to their work in Hurstbourne, the Highbaughs were involved in other development projects around Louisville.
