About
Step into the past on a haunting journey through the true story of the "Graveyard of the West". As the sun sets and the city’s vibrant façade fades, you'll uncover the sinister secrets and chilling tales that lurk beneath the city's storied streets.
One part ghosts, one part grisly history, this guided 1.5-hour walking tour through downtown unveils the darkest corners of Louisville’s gruesome past, where the echoes of bygone eras whisper tragic tales of the forlorn, the oppressed, the betrayed, and the ruthless.
From a ghost that still haunts a glamorous hotel to the tragic riots of Bloody Monday, you’ll trace the cursed footsteps of criminals, mobsters, bootleggers, enslavers, and murder...

Itinerary
1
The Belvedere
You'll begin your tour at a statue commemorating Louisville's famous founder. But is he really deserving of his unblemished reputation? And who else might have a tale to tell about Louisville's role in our country's early days and westward expansion?
2
Belle of Louisville Riverboats
Louisville's iconic historic steamboat has seen over 100 years of history and change. What whispered stories might she tell about the murky waters of the Ohio River?
3
Whiskey Row
Sit and enjoy a cocktail while you learn about cunning bootleggers who defied Prohibition, fires and floods which nearly destroyed this historic stretch of downtown, and the salacious hidden tunnels underneath your very feet. But beware: there are more spirits here than what you'll see behind the bar...
Note: cocktail is only included for applicable ticket holders.
20 minutes
4
Seelbach Hotel
This glamorous hotel was once the secret meeting place for a famous bootlegger and a mobster whose escapades defined the Prohibition era. Plus, the tragic tale of a grisly murder whose forlorn victim may still walk these hallowed halls...
5
Cathedral of the Assumption
This ominous steeple once bore witness to one of the bloodiest days in Louisville's history...
6
Jefferson Square Park
Once known as "Justice Square," this beautiful city park has been a battleground for both righteous justice and savage injustice.
