Пішохідна екскурсія Старим Луїсвілем, рекомендована The New York Times! @ 4 та Ормсбі

Огляд
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!

Чого очікувати
1
Відьмине дерево
На місці, де колись стояло плекане місцевими відьмами дерево, виросло вузлувате дерево. Коли місто зрубало первозданне дерево, городяни накликали на себе гнів стариків, які на знак помсти наслали торнадо, щоб знищити місто. Відвідувачі часто залишають жертви на скрученому стовбурі, щоб загладити провину.
2
Будинок-музей Конрада-Колдвелла (замок Конрада)
Це пішохідна екскурсія, і ми не входимо в жодні споруди, оскільки більшість будинків у Старому Луїсвіллі є приватними резиденціями. Ми зупиняємось перед музеєм-будинком Конрада-Колдвелла, і ви можете домовитися з ними про екскурсію особняком за окрему плату.
3
Історичне товариство Філсона
Побудований у 1905 році особняк Фергюсона колись вважався найвеличнішим будинком у місті. Чудовий приклад архітектури Beaux Arts, сьогодні це штаб-квартира Історичного товариства Філсона. Відвідини можуть бути організовані окремо.
4
Центральний парк
Так само, як і його знаменитий двоюрідний брат у Нью-Йорку, Центральний парк у Луїсвіллі був спроектований Фредеріком Ло Олмстедом. З 14 акрів місцевих порід дерев і затінених доріжок, це чотири квадратні блоки вважаються зеленим серцем району. Тут також відбуваються вистави «Шекспір ​​у парку» щоліта, починаючи з 1961 року, що робить їх найстарішою безкоштовною подією Шекспіра просто неба в країні.
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.

My Partner and I went on the architecture tour. It was interesting to learn about these huge houses from another time. Our guide, David was entertaining, friendly, knowledgeable and you could tell he loves what he does. We were so impressed by the tour and with David that we did it again and brought her friends the next time. I highly recommend. The sights and sounds of Old Louisville are beautiful. As a plus size woman I found the walking tour very manageable. So no worries. Just wear comfy shoes.

If you would really like the “inside scoop” on the haunts and the history of Old Louisville, then this is the tour to take! David Domine has literally written multiple books about the tours he guides. Our ladies group had plenty of questions, and he cheerfully provided answers. We did two tours with him, and got more bang for our buck than anywhere else. He walks at a pleasant pace, is easy to hear, and a font of knowledge and history. I absolutely recommend these tours, and consider them a “do not miss” while visiting Louisville.

David Domine's Architectural tours truly are like a trip back in time. You will feel transported and you will meet virtually all the many people of the past who inhabited these beautiful old houses. You will leave, feeling connected to them and to the neighborhood, which is unique and magical. Then after an Architectural tour, return in the evening for a Ghost tour. The Ghost tours are so much fun, and are a great way to celebrate the month of October especially. David's descriptions will have you seeing the ghosts, and you will never forget them...Suzanne Hurst, Old Louisville resident since 1995.
