The Old Louisville historic preservation district is home to hundreds of impressive Victorian mansions that trace back to wealthy families in the 1800s. This daytime walking tour includes the same stories featured on our popular evening ghost tours, and is perfect for those who love a combination of ghosts and history. A trained guide will help you uncover the eerie past of the neighborhood while sharing entertaining legends and lore. This tour is entirely outdoors and includes stops outside several points of interest including the Conrad-Caldwell House Museum, the Witches' Tree, Central Park, and the Filson Historical Society.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We do not meet in a building, but rather outside on the southeast corner of South 4th Street and West Ormsby Avenue, near the brown "FILSON HISTORICAL SOCIETY" sign by the bus stop. Across the street, you should see the CENTRAL PARK LOFTS, a two-story, redbrick building from the 1950s.
