There was a lot of history and claims to fame related to this area. No spoilers here, but suffice to say the walking tour of the blocks of old Victorian homes was very educational. Out tour guide Kelly was very knowledgeable of the area and itā€™s history, and kept the walk fun and entertaining throughout. Highly recommended activity if you are in the area.

Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Old Louisville going back to the Southern Exposition and subsequent development of the area with some of the first houses in the US with electricity. She was able to explain the different architectural styles and answer questions about how the neighborhood is maintained today. Itā€™s a very pleasant walk about an hour long. One of the houses on the tour, the Conrad-Caldwell House, is a museum and can also be toured if you have extra time.
