Tour Overview & Highlights
Explore Old Louisville—hailed by The New York Times and known as “America’s Most Haunted Neighborhood.” Since 2004, Louisville Historic Tours has led visitors through this historic district once home to bourbon barons, racetrack royalty, and tobacco tycoons. Centered around Olmsted-designed Central Park and the elegant homes of St. James Court, the neighborhood showcases more than 40 blocks of striking Victorian architecture and ghostly legends. Best-selling author David Dominé often guides tours himself, sharing stories inspired by his books and personal experiences.
