Englishton Park is located in Lexington, Indiana, just off the Ohio River and 40 miles north of Louisville, Kentucky. The property on which the program resides was once the summer estate of former Indiana Statesman Captain William Eastin English. Upon his death in 1926, Captain English bequeathed the property to the state of Indiana to be used to help troubled children and their families.
In the early 1950s the State of Indiana turned over the property to the local Presbyterian Church. The church then created Englishton Park Presbyterian Ministries, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the needs of the children in the Lexington community, thereby fulfilling the vision of Captain English.
For over 35 years a historic building on the Englishton Park estate has been the site of a summer program for troubled children from the surrounding area. That program continues to operate today.
In 2005 a residential program was created through a partnership with the Southeast Indiana Special Education Roundtable, the Indiana Department of Education, Englishton Park Estate, and Three Springs, Inc. to establish a residential therapeutic educational community for adolescent boys.
Following in the tradition of the summer program, Three Springs Englishton Park offers a program of healing that includes many of the amenities provided by the estate. A few of these features include a newly renovated residential living space and school, two lakes, hiking trails and a ropes course.
