Whitehall
Erin L.

We were visiting Louisville and wanted to check out some historic sights in the area. Whitehall is a beautiful old Louisville home, originally built in about 1855, and we decided to come take a tour of the house and grounds. Whitehall is not terribly large, but the rooms have been nicely kept up and there is plenty of period furniture and decor on display. Our guide, a local college student, was very gracious and welcoming. We arrived in the middle of an ongoing tour and she happily included us, then went back to cover the areas we'd missed afterward. She was very enthusiastic about the house and took the time to point out her favorite objects and fill us in on the history of the various owners. It's a beautiful home, well worth visiting. The gardens were a little smaller than I'd hoped, but pretty enough to walk through and admire. The whole experience here took about half an hour, just enough time to see everything I wanted to see without boring my husband to tears. I was really glad we'd made the time to see Whitehall. Admission is $5 per person. I believe there is parking behind the house, or you can take a cab from downtown, like we did. Whitehall is a bit out of the way, but located in a really gorgeous residential neighborhood that is pretty to admire as you drive through to Whitehall.

The garden in May was beautiful. Large Iris and Peonies. Walk around , there is a grotto and a trellised walk . Lovely.

What I saw of the mansion was very elaborately and authentically decorated, and it definitely looks great for a formal party or wedding.

Statue of David - 08.28.25 inspired by Michelangelo's 16th-century marble statue of David

Statue of David

West Main, Downtown

In a new city, in the midst of Midwest Kentucky. Remember…read morethis is Derby County and horses, right? They have defined culture deep within the roots of the city . A life size statue of David. Not thee David, and its gold. Wow!! We are in Kentucky too. This statue was procured by the local hotel, art gallery and eatery of 21c Museum Hotel . It's stands outside a large glimmer that looks out all over the city. It's very close to the water front area. Now the original David is made of marble, this statue although gold toned is made of foam and fiberglass. It's sprayed with a brilliant gold finish. It's well maintained with the rainy weather that occurs here. Come and see what downtown looks like with statues of David . Different and beautiful is nice. What's in your backyard of your city ? You might just be surprised!

Whoa, whaaah? Hmmm [Louisville KY]…read more Well, to my surprise I guess I only had to go as far as Louisville in Kentucky to see the Statue of David and I didn't have to be around any tourists! Actually, at 30-feet tall, Louisville's David is almost twice the size of Michelangelo's original masterpiece in Florence Italy and it's all in gold... well, it's actually spray-painted with a gaudy gold paint... and made of styrofoam or fiberglass (not sure) but certainly not Italian marble LoL! The giant golden statue stands outside in front of 21C Museum Hotel on Main Street (who, btw, also owns the statue) which probably turns heads in downtown Louisville... the statue was one of many kinds of street art and statues on Main Street. Is everything big in Kentucky too?! Review #3895

Lincoln Memorial at Waterfront Park [Louisville KY]…read more The memorial, dedicated to the country's famous 16th president, is located at the Waterfront Park at a city park by the Ohio River. It has sculptural parts including a larger-than-life statue of Abraham Lincoln, four artistic expression sculptures, and Abraham Lincoln's own words engraved with four famous quotes on a stone amphitheater to express his lifelong ties to Kentucky. The memorial is a simple moving tribute very nicely done. It is a free attraction set against the scenic Ohio River. We were there around 7:45p as the sun was setting behind the Interstate 65 across the Ohio River. Review #3927

Created by sculptor Ed Hamilton, the memorial was completed in 2009. The memorial is comprised of a 12 foot tall sculpture of Abraham Lincoln sitting on a rock beside his top hat, in front of steps engraved with various quotations from Lincoln's speeches: "I, too, am a Kentuckian"; "A house divided against itself cannot stand"; "With malice toward none, with charity for all"; and "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master." There are also four bas-relief panels depicting various periods in Lincoln's life, from childhood to slavery and emancipation. An interesting and aesthetic memorial.

What a wacky and eclectic place the Frazier Kentucky History Museum is. But, I guess, so is the…read morestate of Kentucky. It's got a varied history. This museum gives visitors several slices of that history, from bourbon and whiskey to racing to the Civil War and the tobacco industry. One of my favorite permanent exhibits is on the second floor. It's a room dedicated to Kentucky bourbon and whiskey called the Bourbon Bottle Hall. It's just a bunch of bottles of whiskey and bourbon on backlit white shelves, but it feels supernatural to step into the room and be surrounded by all of the different bottles. You got everything from your Elijah Craigs to your Pappy Van Winkles. What else? There were Kentucky sports mascot costumes on display, a life-sized wax statue of Colonel Sanders holding a bucket of his Kentucky Fried Chicken with its 11 herbs and spices, a little play area for children, a display of German toy soldiers, a display of costumes made by local students, and lots of other interesting things to look at. The Frazier is good for all ages, but it's mostly a "looking" museum, so there aren't too many interactive things to touch, which is why it might not hold the attention of really young kids. My tween and teenagers liked it, but they were done within about 30 minutes. It's a small museum, but I think it has a lot of cool stuff in it and definitely worth a visit.

We loved the short video they played in the separate streaming room - definitely worth taking the time to sit and watch. It was a great way to spend a couple hours and I would definitely suggest coming by if you're in the area. The staff were all super nice and excited to see anyone coming in. Seriously, the place is big for what I expected! Definitely a fun experience.

The statue was presented to the city by two public-spirited businessmen of the city in November 1901 and was unveiled at ceremonies that included addresses by former Governor of Kentucky William O'Connell Bradley and Mayor Charles P. Weaver. Louisville is the county seat of Jefferson County. The statue is bronze and represents Jefferson presenting the Declaration of Independence to the First Congress. He stands atop a bronze pedestal, which represents the famous Liberty Bell https://www.yelp.com/biz/liberty-bell-center-philadelphia-2. On the outside of the bell are four modeled figures that represent Liberty, Equality, Justice and the Brotherhood of Man. Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) was third President of the United States (from 1901 to 1809), second Vice President of the United States (1797-1801) and, amongst other roles, served as the second Governor of Virginia (1779-1781). Back in those days, the Commonwealth of Virginia extended much further west and included the areas that are now West Virginia and Kentucky. After retiring from public office, Jefferson founded the University of Virginia. And while some modern scholars have been critical of Jefferson's involvement with slavery, he is consistently rated highly amongst other US Presidents. The whole statue is 25 feet high. A smaller replica of the monument stands at the University of Virginia. [Review 13585 overall, 904 of 2020.]
