Wycieczka piesza po Old Louisville polecana przez The New York Times! @ 4 i Ormsby

Przegląd
March through November, daily; limited dates in the off-season!

Our tours include more than St. James Court. We see twice as much as other neighborhood walking tours, visiting Ormsby Avenue, Park Avenue cottages, Floral Terrace, the Witches' Tree, and Millionaires Row. Bourbon barons, racetrack royalty, and titans of tobacco settled here in the 1800s. Today, impressive Victorian mansions and quirky residents have earned national attention for Old Louisville.

Author David Dominé often guides groups himself. The New York Times recommends his tours as a MUST during a visitor's "36 Hours in Louisville." Learn more in A DARK ROOM IN GLITTER BALL CITY, David's next book—out in October 2021!

Narrated walks depart from the transitional edge of the neighborhood. If you love old houses, this is the tour for you! If you do not like an up-and-coming neighborhood with a diverse racial make up, please stay home. If you can't go 90 minutes without a bathroom, this is not for you!

Czego oczekiwać
1
Drzewo Czarownic
Sękate drzewo wyrosło w miejscu, gdzie kiedyś rosło drzewo, które hołubiły miejscowe czarownice. Kiedy miasto ścięło pierwotne drzewo, mieszkańcy ściągnęli na siebie gniew wiedźm, które w zemście zesłały tornado, by zniszczyło miasto. Odwiedzający często zostawiają ofiary na skręconym pniu, aby zadośćuczynić.
2
Muzeum Domu Conrada-Caldwella (zamek Conrada)
Jest to wycieczka piesza i nie wchodzimy do żadnych struktur, ponieważ większość domów w Old Louisville to prywatne rezydencje. Zatrzymujemy się przed Conrad-Caldwell House Museum i możesz umówić się z nimi na zwiedzanie rezydencji za opłatą.
3
Towarzystwo Historyczne Filsona
Zbudowana w 1905 roku rezydencja Fergusona była kiedyś uważana za najwspanialszą rezydencję w mieście. Wspaniały przykład architektury Beaux Arts, dziś jest siedzibą Filson Historical Society. Wizyty można umawiać osobno.
4
Park Centralny
Podobnie jak jego słynny kuzyn w Nowym Jorku, Central Park w Louisville został zaprojektowany przez Fredericka Law Olmsteda. Z 14 akrami rodzimych gatunków drzew i zacienionymi chodnikami, ta przestrzeń o powierzchni czterech kwadratów liczy się jako zielone serce dzielnicy. To tutaj każdego lata od 1961 roku odbywa się Shakespeare in the Park, co czyni go najstarszą w kraju bezpłatną imprezą szekspirowską na świeżym powietrzu.
5
The Witches' Tree
A gnarled tree rose up on the spot where a tree cherished by local witches once stood. When the city chopped down the original tree, townsfolk incurred the wrath of the crones, who sent a tornado to destroy the city in revenge. Visitors often leave offerings on the twisted trunk to make amends.
6
Conrad-Caldwell House Museum (Conrad's Castle)
This is a walking tour and we do not enter any structures, as most of the houses in Old Louisville are private residences. We do stop in front of the Conrad-Caldwell House Museum, and you can arrange with them to tour the mansion for a fee.
7
The Filson Historical Society
Built in 1905, the Ferguson Mansion once counted as the grandest home in the city. A splendid example of Beaux Arts architecture, it today is headquarters for the Filson Historical Society. Visits can be arranged separately.
8
Central Park
Just like its famous cousin in New York City, Louisville's Central Park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. With 14 acres of native tree species and shaded walkways, this four-square-block space counts as the green heart of the neighborhood. It's also where Shakespeare in the Park takes place each summer, since 1961, making it the nation's oldest free outdoor Shakespeare event.

Took the tour Mar 21st. Made a day trip to L'ville. Nice spring day, and this was the best part. Jasmine, our guide, was knowledgeable, engaging, with pleasant voice and a blend of animation and humor. It was historically and architectually enlightening. Hint: look for the gargoyle and see what seasonal hat it is sporting. Don't forget to retrace your steps to see the Lamplighter chainsaw carving and catch the Conrad-Caldwell house after the tour.
