Old Louisville

Recommended by The New York Times, Louisville Historic Tours has specialized in guided walks through "America's Most Haunted Neighborhood" since 2004. Once home to bourbon barons, racetrack royalty, and titans of tobacco, this transitional neighborhood has a wealth of ghostly lore that attracts supernatural buffs from all around the world. Centered around Olmsted-designed Central Park and the charming residential enclave of St. James Court, this 40-square block historic district is jam-packed with Gilded Age grandeur and hundreds of spooky Victorian mansions. Best-selling author David Dominé loves showing off the neighborhood and sharing stories about his favorite allegedly haunted houses. Come and see what all the buzz is about! IMPORTANT NOTE: On our tours, you might see things you would see in any larger city across the US; this includes homeless people, panhandlers, or others who do not look like you. If you do not like a diverse neighborhood, this is not the tour for you.

The Filson Historical Society

(Pass by)

Completed in 1905, the Ferguson Mansion only saw one family reside there in its intended capacity. In the 1920s, it became a well-known funeral home and remained as such until the 1980s, when "The Filson" moved its headquarters there. Contact their front desk to find out how to get inside.

Conrad-Caldwell House Museum (Conrad's Castle)

Constructed in the 1890s, "Conrad's Castle" is an impressive limestone Richardsonian Romanesque mansion the typifies Kentucky's Gilded Age. If you sign up for one of their tours (highly recommended!), be forewarned: you might encounter a ghost - or five.

Admission Not Included

Central Park

Designed by the same genius behind New York City's famous Central Park, this 14-acre green space is the breathing heart of Old Louisville. At night, it can be kind of spooky.

The Witches' Tree

Hear the story of why this tree is so gnarly and twisted, and why people adorn it with trinkets, beads, and good luck charms!

This tour was Amazing. Our guide was so much fun and full of information and history. It was a super fun way to see and learn about this part of Louisville.

It was all memorable! Jamie was a fantastic tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and told great stories. She was also quite funny. I give Jamie 10/10 stars or in this case ghost!

Jolene_S

It was a lovely evening & our guide dressed in a period outfit for the occasion. She took us past several supposedly haunted houses & told us their stories. Generally, she was a good storyteller & the tour was fun. But she did get bogged down in an overly-long & convoluted story about a house she used to live near. I would have liked to hear a few more (shorter) stories about a few more houses rather than stay in one place for maybe 15-20 minutes hearing a confusing story about one house.

Our guide was exceptional. Such a good story teller. We enjoyed every minute of her stories. She was very good.
