Brimming with with tree-lined avenues, opulent Victorian mansions, and quirky charm, this hidden gem is over 50 years older than Old Louisville — and far more delicious!

In the Original Highlands and Cherokee Park areas, you'll stroll tree-lined streets lined with colourful murals, blooming flowers, and grand historic homes; hear fascinating stories of immigrants, icons, and innovators; p ass the final resting places of Muhammed Ali and Colonel Sanders at Cave Hill Cemeter; and taste signature Louisville flavours at beloved local eateries you’d never find on your own.
