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.

We took the historic tour with Kelly who did a beautiful job describing homes and architecture in this amazing neighborhood. I could have spent a day walking.

Our tour guide was having one of days. In spite of that she still showed up on time to the minute. She did a great job showing us the neighborhood. The houses were beautiful with a lot of history. The houses don’t really compare to some in Savannah and Charleston but the area was beautiful and we enjoyed the tour.

Not strenuous and very informative. Great architecture achievements maintained to today. Thanks to the City.
