I love museums and all the history that go with it! I guess it's pretty obvious with the topics that I choose and write about. It's amazing how everything just falls into place and how it makes up Louisville as Louisville. It's comparable to a human's DNA only it's for places. I know, I am such a nerd. Lol!
I personally think that knowing your roots or the history of your place will give you so much appreciation of what you have and will make you feel proud. Hey! If it's something that can only be found in Louisville, that my friend is something to be proud of, especially if that is classic Americana. Nothing can top that for sure!
So, I decided to compile our own version of the Top 5 museums that locals and tourists will love. I know it's impossible to go all the museums here in Louisville, but with time management you can cover most of this.
Here is our list of the TOP 5 Museums to Visit when in Louisville Kentucky. Enjoy!

The Conrad-Caldwell House Museum, one of the finest examples of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture, was the masterpiece of famed local architect Arthur Loomis of Clarke & Loomis. It houses a massive collection of period items including many original pieces and stands as a testament to the abundant lifestyle of the owners, Theophile Conrad, and William E; two of Louisville’s most prominent businessmen and entrepreneurs during their time.
“Conrad’s Castle” is also known for its beautiful woodwork and parquet floors, this massive Bedford limestone home, covered with gargoyles, beautiful archways, and elaborate stone designs, incorporated 7 types of hardwoods and magnificent stained glass windows in the interior design, making it one of the most stunning homes in Old Louisville.
