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.

Lovely stroll around old Lou with a knowledgeable guide. She was able to answer many questions and be honest about things she was uncertain of.

Erica was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who gave us great information about the houses and the neighborhood, but she also entertained our more general questions about Louisville, history, geography, and more. She was mindful about finding shade for the walkers on a hot day, and most importantly, shared her clear enthusiasm with all the participants.
