Пешачка тура по старим Луисвилу коју препоручује Тхе Нев Иорк Тимес! @ 4. и Ормсби

Преглед
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!

Шта да очекујете
1
Вјештичино дрво
Квргаво дрво се подигло на месту где је некада стајало дрво које су неговале локалне вештице. Када је град посекао првобитно дрво, грађани су навукли гнев старешина, који су послали торнадо да уништи град у знак освете. Посетиоци често остављају понуде на искривљеном деблу да би се искупили.
2
Музеј куће Цонрад-Цалдвелл (Конрадов замак)
Ово је пешачка тура и не улазимо ни у једну структуру, пошто су већина кућа у Старом Луисвилу приватне резиденције. Заустављамо се испред Цонрад-Цалдвелл Хоусе музеја, а ви се можете договорити са њима да обиђете вилу уз накнаду.

Историјско друштво Филсон
Изграђена 1905. године, Фергусонова вила некада се сматрала највећим домом у граду. Сјајан пример архитектуре Беаук Артс, данас је седиште Филсоновог историјског друштва. Посете се могу посебно договорити.

Централни парк
Баш као и његов познати рођак у Њујорку, Централни парк у Луисвилу дизајнирао је Фредерик Ло ​​Олмстед. Са 14 хектара аутохтоних врста дрвећа и засјењеним стазама, овај простор од четири квадрата се сматра зеленим срцем суседства. Ту се такође одржава Шекспир у парку сваког лета, од 1961. године, што га чини најстаријим бесплатним Шекспировим догађајем у земљи.

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.
