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.

Great tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the houses, types of houses and even knows the names of some of the dogs in the houses. She even gave us a little more history about Louisville as well. Highly recommend.

I just loved the tour, Kelly’s knowledge of the area was superb, when I would ask questions of the homes she always had the answers. I was not familiar with the style Shotgun homes, now I understand the style and the tax reason this style started.
