Ogle Victorian Mansions Decked To The Nines On This Holiday Home Tour In Kentucky

There's no place in Kentucky that shines quite as bright during the holiday season than Louisville. In addition to being a breathtakingly beautiful Christmas town, the streets of Old Louisville come alive with twinkle lights and festive decor during the holiday season. For those looking to walk through a real-life Christmas card, the Old Louisville Holiday Home Tour is a magical walking tour of the city's most stately Victorian mansions and townhouses, all dazzling and decked to the nines.

Old Louisville is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful and most historic areas in Kentucky. All over the city, there are neighborhoods full of beautiful estates and stately homes that glimmer as brightly today as they did over a hundred years ago.

Walkable and lovely, Belgravia Court is perhaps the best-known "Old Louisville" neighborhood, featuring some truly inspired historic houses. St. James Court, South Fourth Street, Ormsby Avenue, and Third Street all boast beautiful Victorians, too.

But during the holidays? This already esquisite neighborhood takes on a glittering, tinsel-tinged glow!

Each year, the Old Louisville Holiday Home Tour offers a guided walking experience through this real-life Christmas village in Kentucky.

Tours begin at the Old Louisville Visitors Center in Central Park; from there, it's an easy, self-guided walking tour that stops at eight extravagant homes, all within a four-block radius.

The tour gives visitors a rare glimpse inside these historic Victorian mansions and townhouses

stylishly dressed for the holidays, as these homes graciously open their doors for all to see. Docents at each home greet guests at the door and are available to answer any questions you may have about these historic homes.

There are so many wonderful ways to celebrate the holidays in Kentucky, but we especially love that this Christmas tour allows for relaxed and enjoyable afternoon spent wandering the streets of one of the most beautiful places in the Bluegrass -- and ogling some jaw-dropping lights and decorations along the way!
