The Best of Old Louisville 50-Minute Guided Walking Tour

This tour is for those who don't have a lot of time, but still want to learn a lot about Old Louisville. In less than an hour, you'll be guided through St. James Court, Fountain Court, Belgravia Court, and several blocks of the city's old Millionaires Row as you learn about the bourbon barons, racetrack royalty, and the titans of tobacco who settled in this fascinating neighborhood. Some structures you'll admire from the sidewalks include the Samuel Culbertson Mansion, Caldwell's Castle, the Pink Palace, and the elegant William Wathen Residence, but you'll also see the emblematic Fountain at St. James Court and leafy Central Park as well.

Old Louisville really is a treasure trove of grand architecture from the late 1800s and very early 1900s, and on this jaunt you'll be treated to stunning examples of Richardsonian Romanesque and Renaissance Revival styles, not to mention many variations on the Italianate, Châteauesque, Queen Anne, Federal, Neo-Georgian, and Arts & Crafts genres.
