Old Louisville Ghost Tour in America's Most Haunted Neighborhood

CRM Import — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:30:00 -0400

As seen on HBO's MURDER IN GLITTERBALL CITY! Impressive Victorian mansions and quirky residents have earned Old Louisville national attention, where bourbon barons, racetrack royalty, and tobacco titans settled in the 1800s. This narrated walk comes from books by David Dominé, who often guides groups himself. Tales involve personal experiences and neighborhood legend, as well as the story at the heart of A DARK ROOM IN GLITTER BALL CITY, the true-crime memoir that inspired the HBO series!

Specializing in "America's Most Haunted Neighborhood," we depart from the corner of Fourth and Ormsby, at the transitional edge of the neighborhood. If you love beautiful architecture and spooky history, this is the tour for you! If you do not like a diverse, up-and-coming neighborhood, or can't go 2 hours without a bathroom, this is not for you! Start times at 6 PM, 7:30 PM, and 9:15 PM seven days a week!

The New York Times recommends our tours as the first thing to do during a visitor's "36 Hours in Louisville."

Locally owned and operated since 2004. We are not a large national chain; we have been locally owned and operated since 2004!

The soundtrack of the night flows from live musicians into a rotation of renowned DJs, building the energy as the night progresses. Behind the bar, elevated cocktail programming and premium pours keep glasses full while the atmosphere builds into one of the most sought-after scenes of the weekend.

Equal parts luxury lounge, rooftop party, and Derby weekend social club, The Rose Lounge is where the celebration continues long after dinner reservations and galas end — a magnetic late-night gathering for those who know exactly where the night should lead.

The Original Old Louisville Walking Tour

CRM Import — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 20:00:00 -0400

Step into one of America's most remarkable historic neighborhoods—and the dramatic backdrop for HBO's Murder in Glitterball City. Old Louisville isn't just architecturally stunning; it's layered with stories, secrets, and larger-than-life personalities. Spread across more than 40 square blocks and home to over a thousand structures, this transitional neighborhood south of downtown Louisville is alive with revitalization, fascinating history, quirky residents, and colorful characters.

Architecture lovers will be in heaven. Nowhere else in the country will you find such a concentrated mix of late 19th- and early 20th-century styles—Italianate, Richardsonian Romanesque, Queen Anne, Beaux Arts, Renaissance Revival, Federal, and Victorian Gothic—all side by side, with no two homes alike. From ornate stone carvings to soaring turrets and grand wraparound porches, every block feels like an open-air museum.

One of the crown jewels is the Conrad-Caldwell House Museum, once nicknamed “Conrad's Castle.” This imposing Richardsonian Romanesque masterpiece stuns with its bold stone façade and intricate details. While our tour remains outdoors (as most properties are private residences), you'll admire the exterior while uncovering the stories of the opulent life once lived inside. On select days, guests may arrange separate interior tours directly with the museum.

Equally breathtaking is the Ferguson Mansion, a 25,000-square-foot Beaux Arts showpiece completed in 1905 and inspired by grand Parisian design. Once considered the most magnificent home in Louisville, it now serves as headquarters for the Filson Historical Society. Nearby, you'll stroll through 14-acre Central Park, designed by the firm of legendary landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted—the same visionary behind New York City's Central Park.

And then there are the legends. At Sixth and Park stands a twisted tree tied to tales of local witches and a vengeful tornado sent to punish the city. Visitors still leave small offerings at its base. From stately mansions to whispered folklore, this tour reveals every side of Old Louisville—not just its beauty, but its soul.

Come see why The New York Times recommends the ORIGINAL Old Louisville Walking Tour as the first thing to do during your "36 Hours In Louisville."

Locally owned and operated for more than 20 years, we offer the most comprehensive introduction to Old Louisville—one of the largest historic preservation districts in the United States. Our tour is more comprehensive and richer in storytelling than any other in the neighborhood.

Over nearly two leisurely hours, you'll hear tales of bourbon barons, racetrack royalty, and tobacco titans who made St. James Court and Millionaires Row their homes. Explore the stately residences near Ormsby Avenue and around Olmsted-designed Central Park, and step inside hidden gems like Floral Terrace and Belgravia Court, hidden areas most visitors would never find on their own.

This is the original. This is Old Louisville at its finest.

Louisville to Liberty: The Blackburns' Journey

CRM Import — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 20:00:00 -0400

In the afternoon of July 3, 1831, Thornton and Lucie Blackburn made a daring escape from their enslavers in Louisville, Kentucky, eventually making it to Toronto, Canada. Their story was nearly forgotten until archaeologists discovered their home while working in a school yard. Site director Dr. Karolyn Smardz Frost spent more than 20 years piecing together Thornton and Lucie's story. From her research, Dr. Smardz Frost wrote I've Got a Home in Glory Land: A Lost Tale of the Underground Railroad. It is the first birth to death biography of a freedom-seeking couple published since the Civil War.

In Louisville to Liberty: The Blackburns' Journey, visitors will learn more about Thornton and Lucie Blackburn and their journey to freedom. For the first time ever displayed in the United States, the exhibition will include objects belonging to Thornton and Lucie that were uncovered in the archaeological excavation. It was necessary for Thornton and Lucie to leave Louisville to escape bondage. Louisville to Liberty: The Blackburns' Journey welcomes their story back to Kentucky.

152nd Kentucky Oaks

CRM Import — Fri, 01 May 2026 07:00:00 -0400

The Longines Kentucky Oaks is America's premier and most lucrative race for 3-year-old fillies – female horses- held each year on the day before the Kentucky Derby. This feature race is a $1.5 million Grade 1 stakes race and awards the winning filly a garland of lilies, appropriately named “lilies for the fillies.” Like the Kentucky Derby, the Longines Kentucky Oaks race is one of the longest continually held sporting events in American history, and one of the only horse races to take place at the original site of its inception. The race was established on May 19th, 1875, by the same founder of the Kentucky Derby, Colonel Meriwether Lewis Clark, and is modeled after the British Epsom Oaks. View the fillies in the Longines Kentucky Oaks.

Kentucky Oaks Day at Churchill Downs is the second-highest attended horse race in the United States, following the Triple Crown of racing: the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes. Aside from thunderous live horse racing, fans celebrate fashion and fundraising for critical women's health issues.

Time: 11:00 AM to 7:30 PM

Creatures of the Night: Wonders of Whip-poor-wills

CRM Import — Sat, 02 May 2026 16:00:00 -0400

Have you ever heard the call of the Whip-poor-will? For many, it's a sound that feels pulled from another time, when summer nights carried a little extra magic just beyond the window.

Join our Volunteer Naturalists for an evening walk through the forest as we listen for these elusive night singers and learn more about their fascinating lives. This program offers a chance to experience their haunting call firsthand and gain a deeper appreciation for these remarkable birds.

Time: 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM

High Stakes Moonlight & Mint Julep Lounge

CRM Import — Sat, 02 May 2026 17:00:00 -0400

As the final notes of “My Old Kentucky Home” fade and the roses are claimed, the celebration ascends to a more rarefied altitude.

High Stakes Rooftop at Tempo by Hilton Louisville Downtown NuLu Derby Night Lounge Experience—The Moonlight & Mint Julep Lounge- Tickets are $135 per person (plus tax and fees)

From 9PM, the atmosphere transforms into a sophisticated late-night salon as DJ JayBird orchestrates an elevated soundtrack—seamlessly blending modern luxury with Derby glamour. The setting is polished and indulgent: tailored silhouettes, statement fascinators, flowing champagne, and a skyline glittering beneath the night air.

An exceptional bar program, presented in partnership with world-class spirits, anchors the evening:

Refined sparkling expressions and celebratory pours featuring La Marca Prosecco

Elevated cocktail creations energized by Red Bull

Distinguished tequila selections from Patrón

Iconic French vodka from Grey Goose

Classic Caribbean rum from Bacardi

Artfully crafted Kentucky bourbon cocktails featuring Castle & Key

From cascading Prosecco towers to impeccably balanced bourbon compositions and bespoke espresso martinis, each libation is designed with precision and poise.

Complementing the experience are elevated late-night culinary stations, available from 9 PM–11:30 PM, presenting refined, chef-driven selections that marry indulgence with sophistication.

The music and bar service continue through 1 AM; the party, however, continues until 2 AM, as High Stakes Rooftop becomes NuLu's most distinguished post-Derby destination.

After the roses are awarded and the gates are closed,
The evening belongs to those who rise above it all.

Time: 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM

Did you know there's a vibrant community of horses and horsemen who live and work on the Backside of Churchill Downs? (Yes, there's even a church onsite!) In this guided van tour, you'll ride among the signature green-roofed barns that are home to 1,400 horses during the racing and training season. In addition to the horses, you'll also see some of the hundreds of people who live and work on the Backside as they care for and train the world-class Thoroughbreds. You never know who you may see on the Backside – a legendary Derby trainer or even next year's Triple Crown winner! Bring your camera for panoramic views of the racetrack, Grandstand, and the historic Twin Spires™.

First Sunday Nature Hike: Birds, Bees, Flowers, & Trees

CRM Import — Sun, 03 May 2026 10:00:00 -0400

Early May is a beautiful time to savor the gifts of spring—fresh green leaves unfurling overhead, birdsong layered through the trees, and the steady hum of pollinators at work among the blossoms. Join our Bernheim Naturalists for a guided hike that invites you to slow down, look closer, and deepen your connection to the living landscape all around you.

These hikes go a bit further than our ECO Kids Hike of the Day and are designed with adults in mind, though children six and older are welcome to explore alongside you.

Time: 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM

Bluegrass Jams @ Feast BBQ

CRM Import — Sun, 03 May 2026 13:00:00 -0400

In Appalachia, music was never a performance you just sat and watched. Traditionally, it was a conversation. It was a seat at the table for anyone with an instrument. And we're bringing that tradition to our dining room every single week.

Every Sunday from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, the Louisville Bluegrass Band hosts acoustic sets. This is a true pickin' party (with pork!), meaning all musicians are welcome to join the circle. Whether you are a pro or just learning your chords, bring your instrument and grab a chair.

It is the best way we know to wrap up the weekend. Come for the music, stay for a few 2-oz bourbon pours, and get a rack of our hickory-smoked ribs before they sell out for the night.

About Feast BBQ

Feast BBQ is a Louisville-based barbecue restaurant founded in 2012. Rooted in Southern tradition and shaped by classical culinary training, Feast BBQ smokes its meats low and slow over hickory, brines, and seasons everything in-house. In the Nulu neighborhood, Feast BBQ pairs its barbecue with a curated bourbon bar, draft beer program, and a commitment to straightforward hospitality built on craft, patience, and the belief that great barbecue is worth doing the hard way.
