When you doom scroll, you come across many different places that are true hidden gems. Door To Nowhere, or Heigold House, is definitely an oddity and salute to the past. Some housekeeping, you know, things to know about this place. BE CAREFUL. This sits on a roundabout island with steady traffic. Be mindful to the traffic flow and businesses nearby (I parked at a nearby business off the road and walked over here). Be kind to the natural beauty that surrounds this. And most of all, be respectful. As I said, this sits on a roundabout with flowerbeds surrounding it. Whether you are facing front, as in looking at the front of the façade, or looking from the rear, please stay on the sidewalks provided. Take in the informational plaques as well. Built by Christian H Heigold, a successful stonecutter. Majority of the house was completed in 1853. Heigold was a master at stonecutting and completed the home with busts of Presidents George Washington and James Buchanan. Heigold was also a staunch opponent of the 'Know Nothing Party,' and anti-immigration political party and I would like to think that he built his house with all the busts was a big middle finger to those that were anti-immigration. This façade sat in what was known as the The Point neighborhood, which was favored by those that moved to the city from the New Orleans area. Once Louisville diverted the Beargrass Creek away from downtown, this place started to flood annually. Shifting people away from the neighborhood and then the Great Flood of 1937 happened. Slowly the city started buying houses and demolishing them. Ultimately using the land as a dump site. Then this façade was listed on the National Registry of Historical Places. Remained in that area which became Thruston Park. That is until a developer bought the land adjacent to this and build condos. They moved this massive beast, 70,000-pounds, across River Road to where it sits today.

My family and I was in town from Louisville for my daughters cheer competition. Whenever we visit towns we like to check out public art and unique or obscure places in the towns. Deep in a Google search I discovered the Roseanne house was in evansville. How cool is that? I loved this show growing up. I couldn't wait to get This page added to Yelp and share my experience. It is very much an active and lived in house. It does not offer tours which is fine because the show was shot in a studio audience. So the outside of the house is all that was ever used. So you get your photo ops from the street level. To respect the current owners policy we stayed across the street. A few other people did the same. This house is located on a side street right across from Evansville university. I'm not sure the connection to the show and this house in Evansville but it was a cool trip down nostalgia lane for me. Overall very cool and fun find and an easy few minute place to check out. Lastly, I wonder if this house goes all out on Halloween decorations? How cool would that be?

I have a 3 and 5 year old and they both LOVED it. It's short, sweet, and just enough "wow" without being overwhelming. The cave itself is really cool, with some tighter crevices that made it feel a little adventurous (my kids thought that was the best part), but nothing too difficult or strenuous. If you're worried about that--don't be. It's super manageable and moves at a good pace. Price-wise, it felt totally worth it for a family stop. They've also got a little gift shop at the end which my kids obviously needed to check out lol. If you're passing through, just stop. It's a fun, easy memory to make and doesn't take up your whole day. Would 100% do it again.

Here is the history I found from the internet This early nineteenth century log house built in Logan County, KY is a classic example of traditional Kentucky architecture. The dog-trot floor plan and poplar, oak, and walnut construction are typical of the architecture of the region. Reproduction furniture, equipment, tools and clothing inside the Felts House accurately represent an upper income South Central Kentucky family home of 1815 Originally built by Archibald Felts on land near the Gasper River, this log house had remained relatively unchanged over the years. Recognized as a fine example of regional craftsmanship, it was moved here in 1980. Important characteristics include the traditional V-notch and dogtrot construction and the unusual handmade moldings, paneling, and forged hardware. Erected by Donated by Mr. and Mrs. Sam Houston Watkins. Dogtrot Construction of the Cabin Dog Trot log cabins are essentially two log cabins separated by an area that is usually left open. The area in between the cabins/pens, is referred to as a Trot & was used as a breezeway in the Southern States. Dog Trot log cabins are generally oriented so that summer prevailing winds could be used for cooling.
