Historic Old Louisville Walking Tour

Overview

The Historic Old Louisville Walking Tour is a guided tour of the heart of the Victorian Mansion district in Old Louisville. Designed by a prominent local architect and historian, this tour focuses on the history and architecture of this nationally recognized historic preservation district boasting the largest collection of Victorian Mansions in the United States. The tour begins in the comfortable, Frederick Law Olmsted designed Visitors Center in Central Park. You are guided through iconic St. James and Belgravia Courts, then proceed along South Fourth Street, Ormsby Avenue, and the grand boulevard Third Street, which was known as Millionaire's Row in the 1890s. Then you are led back to the starting point.
All proceeds from the Historic Old Louisville Walking Tour support the work of the Old Louisville Neighborhood Council, a nonprofit organization that serves as an advocate for the community and works for historic preservation.

Beautiful day and interesting facts about each home and the neighborhood. Great tour guide. Easy walk, would like to come back during the Christmas holidays and see the houses decorated.

We had a lovely time in the windy autumn weather. Our guide helped us park in the correct spot and was highly knowledgeable of the historic homes and answered all of our questions. Afterwards we spoke about Cincinnati and our cats since our cat was on the tour today. It was a fun experience all around.
