Sunday tours will begin May 18th at 4:00 P.M. Tours will begin at the Lincoln Memorial and will take you all through Waterfront Park until you reach the Big Four® Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge.

History Alive at Waterfront Park: History Walking Tours with a Lincoln Performance

Our popular walking tours return this fall, guided by historian Rick Bell and featuring Warren Greer, a professional historian and Lincoln expert. Before each 1.5-mile walking tour, Warren will perform, “Laughing with Lincoln,” a theatrical piece offering the audience a glimpse into the impact and humanity of the Kentucky native and 16th president of the United States. Free and open to the public, these tours offer an even more engaging and memorable way to connect with Louisville’s history. Advance registration is required. This portion will begin at 3:30 pm at the Lincoln Memorial before the walking tour.
