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.

Old Louisville features the largest contiguous collection of Victorian residential architecture in the nation. And there is no better way to experience this collection of historic homes than via the Historic Old Louisville Walking Tour. My guide was both personable and very knowledgeable. She was able to provide interesting background regarding virtually every property we passed along our walk. Further, as a first-time Louisville visitor, my guide provided important background which helped provide context to not only the area's architecture, but also the city's historic development. Whether you’re a visitor or a Louisville resident, the Historic Old Louisville Walking Tour is an enjoyable way of spending a few hours in River City.
