Historic Old Louisville

Local history museum

😠 If you want to see some old houses that are falling apart well you found the right place. You'll have a good time walking around a very sketchy area if you're up for it. Old Louisville has been going down hill for awhile and is reflected very well. Have fun and don't get jumped.
