A really incredible house tour, especially for the price. One of my favorite house tours that Ive ever done! The woodworking skill, especially the staircase and the first floor area is just astonishing. Our tour guide was really knowledgeable and did a really good job of trying to keep all parties socially distanced from each other. The house is currently decorated for Halloween - lots of candles and black fabric over the mirrors - for an evening candlelight tour they do, which sounds like loads of fun!

Beautiful house tour with rich history and knowledgeable docents! It was already beautifully decorated for Christmas with historically accurate and original decorations! I wished I lived in this neighborhood that takes such care in preserving their rich and beautiful history.

This mansion was super cool. It’s fully restored and the history behind it is incredible. The mansion itself is rather large and there’s quite a bit to see. They offer guided tours and you can purchase your tickets online. Parking can be a little tough since there’s no parking lot, but it was well worth the trip!

Loved it... Elizabeth was an awesome guide... loved all the rooms... beautiful... and loved the history lesson. Bought a book in the shop... had it signed by David Domine.

Beautiful house. The tour was amazing. First historical property tour that was led by an actual descendant. Would highly recommend and in a beautiful area of louisville

This home is so beautiful. The outside looks like a castle, and the inside is even more breathtaking. Oh, and the staff is outstanding. If you like old and beautiful homes, this is a must !!!

Beth was an exceptional tour guide, very knowledgeable and engaging story teller, and an all around kind person. Strongly recommend visiting.

We very much enjoyed our visit to this 10,000 sq. ft. home. Ornate and beautiful. Our tour guide was very knowledgable!

Ive had a couple tours at the Conrad-Coldwell House. It is a beautiful place and contributes to so much of Louisvilles. If you have never toured, I recommend you take the time and explore it.

This is a really interesting place that will help you to understand the history of Louisville. The architecture and art are both beautiful. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and even gave us some ideas for other things to do while we were in Louisville.

Amazing experience! Our tour guide, Beth was an actual descendant of Mr. Caldwell which made the tour even better. She was very informative and knowledgeable about the house and history of the family. Her own personal stories about being in the home gave the tour a more personal feel. I highly reccomend touring this house while in Louisville!

Awesome tour and very reasonably priced. I am so glad I decided to come here on a whim! Lovely tour guide as well. Fascinating!

Love the tour guide. It was her great grandfather house. You can tell she do it from the heart. The stories she tell as a kid growing up. Love it.

My husband and I had a wonderful time. It was our 28th anniversary and it was are first time doing a tour of an old home.

This old Victorian house is exquisite. The guides are extremely knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to have a member of the Caldwell family giving our tour which added a wonderful level of authenticity to the tour. I highly recommend visiting.

Located at the old entrance to the Southern Exposition world fairs of 1883 to 1887, the Conrad-Caldwell house is a lovely piece of architecture, and a place that captures the interior design of the era.The Romanesque architecture of the exterior is worth spending a little bit of time with, since much of the decoration is unique from one example to the next, rather than having the same repeated across the house.The tour of the interior is interesting for the fact that one of the great-grandchildren is the docent, and peppers the tour with anecdotes from her memories of the house and her relatives. The tour goes through most of the rooms which are populated with furniture from the era and some from the house itself where it is available. The decorative items are almost all from the original house as well.The house is at its fanciest in the entrance level, with each level becoming less so, and, not surprisingly, the servants quarters are even more utilitarian. The top level is in need of maintenance, and if you are lucky you also get to see some of the storage spaces.The house has three levels that are part of the tour, all accessed by stairs. There is an elevator in the house, but I do not know if that is available for people with disabilities or not. The tour takes about an hour.Just down the street there is a fountain from the Southern Exposition worth taking a look at, and across the street is Central Park, which survives from the Exposition, though reconfigured.Street parking is easily had around the neighborhood, but be aware that you are right across the street from a police station so illegal parking is not advised.

The tour givers were really wonderful - definitely get to see everything put together in a Victorian era home.

This is a beautiful house with a lot of historical significance to Louisville! The staff is engaging and friendly, and the tour guides even have a family connection to the house. Its a fantastic way to spend an hour and a half if youre ever in Louisville!

Our tour guide, Linda, was very warm, friendly and knowledgeable. She gave great insight into the lives of the families who lived in the home during the Victorian era and what was happening around them during their lives. She was very informative. I really enjoyed my trip back in time with Ms. Linda.

This museum was amazing. Besides the beauty of the house itself, our tour guide was a descendent of the Caldwell family and gave one of the most in-depth tours I’ve been on in any museum.

Loved the tour by the great grandaughter. She had so much to share!

I have lived in Louisville over forty-five years and enjoyed all the festivities of St. James Court. So, I have visited this area on many occasions. That said I had never toured the Conrad-Caldwell House until today. This historic home is well worth the time spent there. This is a hidden jewel in this beautiful area.

It was very interesting tour to the house.

Wow! Our guide was a relative and she was kind and very knowledgeable. Must see!

Kate was amazing. Super friendly and easy to work with. Clean, well displayed, and well preserved.

Chris, was super helpful and always upbeat.

If I could give it 10 STARS, I would!! The MOST amazing historical place I have EVER seen. I highly recommend that EVERYONE visit this AWESOME place, to walk back into time, and revisit the PAST!! The tour guide is an actual LIVING relative with 1ST HAND knowledge & incredible stories!! This Castle/Mansion has even been featured on the show PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.... OUTSTANDING!! PLEASE do yourself a FAVOR, & take this FANTASTIC tour!!!

Touring this mansion was definitely like taking a trip back in time. The docent did a fantastic job of explaining how structured life was for the affluent w living in Old Louisville. The craftsmanship seen in the exterior stonework and interior spaces was oppulent. If you enjoy seeing old houses this is a very nice tour for $10.

Love, Love, Loved this!!! We called to see about a tour and they said they werent open. (the online search engine was WRONG!) I was so bummed, while we were in town, this was 1 of my must sees. Thankfully they had a tour coming in and were able to fit us in! So thankful! Delighted to see that the Conrad and Caldwell families are still taking care of the house! That made it that much more special!

My friend, her mother and I toured the Conrad-Caldwell House during a short visit to Louisville. We were greatly impressed with the home and its interesting history. Chris our tour guide was outstanding! He answered our many questions and we spent well over 90 minutes enjoying the beauty of the home and the many stories associated with its history.I would highly recommend a visit while in Louisville. It’s a beautiful home with a wonderful story. Plus you just found out its on the haunted walk at night and was featured on Ghost Hunters....

Very beautiful historic home. Woodworking is superb.

Great tour. Interesting history

Excellent house an tour guide just happens to be a relative to Mr.Caldwell

Wish we had a formal tour but it was beautiful all decked out for Christmas holidays

They dont actually open at times advertised, FYI. The tour was due to start at 1pm but they show as opening at 12:30. We, along with a lot of others showed up at 12:30. Opens at 12:30 is advertised on Google. Others got the same information as there were about 7 people there. We were told they cant let anyone in until 12:40. It was 26 degrees outside. It all seemed made up and rude. We (along with others) left instead of standing there freezing on the sidewalk for an undefined 10 mins.

Possibly one of the finest Richardsonian Romanesque residential buildings in all of Louisville, if not the country. Definitely worth visiting to check out the interior.

Come late and couldnt join the tour, please pay attention with the tour time else they will not open the door and let you stranded outside.

Always enjoy touring old homes and mansions. How nice to have guides who are part of this family. Beautiful home!

Very interesting place. Unique tour. The tour guide was explaining things very well. It was good to get a tour from her (shes a descendant of the owner)Nice to know the facts and stories about the house and people who lived there.

I love this house! We did a tour tonight that was a lamplit Victorian death and mourning tour. Learned a lot of interesting history and saw part of the house. I had a friend get married in the house and got a private tour then. Its a beautiful part of Louisvilles history and if recommend it to anyone to visit if you can.

If you like architecture tours this is one of the better ones that I have been on, the docent made it all happen. Lots of history and authentic pieces as well as great stories about the history of Louisville. The tour takes about an hour but its really an hour back in time.

Wonderful tour with plenty of detail and and knowledgeable docents. The scent of “hand made soap” smells more like linseed oil and pretty strong but still enjoyed our time there very much.

The tour was very informative, led by a descendant of the Caldwell family. So much to see. Definitely recommend it.

The house blew me away but what made it special was the tour guide! Is the Grandaughter of one of the past owners and she had so many personal stories that made the tour that much better!! Im only here for the summer and this tour has definitely been my favorite!

Awesome historic home to tour. Will definitely visit again in the future!

Beautiful home. I would definitely recommend the tour. Two of the Conrads Great grandaughters were there giving historical information about the home and family.

Beautiful Vintage space! Basement Venue very spacous, with good lighting and a large kitchen.

We took the tour with Beth as our guide. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the house. The house is beautifully kept and full of vintage pieces of furniture and even some pieces from the families that lived there. If youre in Old Louisville, be sure to stop by and take the tour. (They were also featured on the SyFy show Ghost Hunters. Season 10 episode 11.). Oh yes, they have their share of ghosts.

Love the history and decor of each historical rooms. Its Louisvilles own Downton Abbey.

Amazing late 19th c architecture. Old Louisville at its finest! And their website has a handy clock telling you when the next tour will be, very convenient!

Gorgeous home. Great tour . Period pieces . The woodwork is amazing.

A beautiful house that showcases the Richardsonian Romanesque style. The tour is about an hour long and give in-depth look at the house and the neighborhood.

Great place to learn a piece of Louisville history. Our guide was very informative!

These amazing Victorian homes are so rare anymore! This one in particular, is probably one of the most beautiful Ive seen and way ahead of its time. Beth was our tour guide, she was the great, great grand daughter of the Caldwells. She told great stories about the home and many of the artifacts she remembered seeing as a child. This made the tour very personal and helped us fall in love with home even more! She is like the Freddie Johnson of Buffalo Trace to this home...descendants off this historic places with a passion to keepibg these stories alive!The home was built on the site of the Southern Exposition, a 5 year series of Worlds fairs, where Thomas Edison showed off his incandescent light bulb invention! This house had this indoor lighting with gas as a backup, indoor bathrooms, wood laid floor throughout, to name a few treasures here.Please visit and support this gorgeous, historic home!

After living in Louisville over 43 years I finally went through the Conrad-Caldwell House on St. JAMES COURT. We had a guided tour and she was very knowledgeable. I learned new things about old Louisville and found it worth the trip

Great house and tour!

Worth a visit. 10 bucks for entry and know about the history of the house and of KY

Absolute historical treasure. Information tour & the architecture does not disappoint.

This place is awesome! Definitely recommend. Add the tour in if you can. Thats the cherry on top!

Beatiful place! Very informative tour!

I did not go into the Conrad Caldwell House. Yet, thus neighborhood totally worth stopping by. I was disappointed with Louisville KY until I walked through this street.

This old house has a long and complicated history. The interior is well kept and has beautiful furnishings.This is my recommended tour.

Very interesting history and fantastic woodworking, especially the floors.

My tour was exceptional. I visited Oct 5, 2018 and was very impressed to have met 4 Caldwell family descendants as Docents. How exciting to hear their memories and stories. How blessed Old Louisville is to have the Conrad - Caldwell House Museum and their history preserved.

So interesting that the family runs the tours of this home. So much information & family stories. Wish Id had unlimited time to spend in the home listening.

A definite dont miss when in Louisville. Tour guides are very interesting and informative. Lots of beautiful wood work thru out house.

Tour guide was well informed. Also, there are a lot of original articles from some of the first orwners of the house.

Wonderful informative tour from a family member of those who owned the house! Beautiful house and an amazing staple in Louisvilles history.

Didnt get a chance to look at it, was on the trolley bus tour

Was very cool seeing this old house. Loved the wood work. Gotta see at least once, its worth it.

The Conrad-Caldwell House Museum is one of the most important historic resources in the Old Louisville neighborhood in terms of heritage tourism and architectural significance. The Conrad-Caldwell House Museum is a must see for both Louisvillians and travelers alike!

All great, great guide

This is the coolest museum!! Youre emersed in history and get to learn all about the beautiful neighborhood

The BEST History Tour EVER. It was so wonderful to have Barb, great granddaughter of Caldwell, be our tour guide. Barb shares her personal memories that her father shared with her of the Caldwell family. We could have listened for hours. A Must Stop in Old Louisville.

Wonderful tour, very thorough and informative! Will repeat, so much to see!

Given the cost ($10) of this tour and the amazing amount of history in this house it is well worth every penny. The tour itself took a solid 90 minutes so be sure to budget your time accordingly. Also note, I normally dont enjoy these kinds of tours and this was an exception for me.A few highlights:-The tour guides are family members of the second owners of the house which dates all the way back to the 1880s/1890s. The guide we had is a volunteer that provides the tours just because she likes to do it.-The guide will flavor in a bunch of stories handed down over generations which is cool because most of these types of tours are very dry.-The house has a ton of items that have been around since the original build. Most of the woodwork in the house is still the original woodwork.-The house was the height of opulence at the time, they have photos that show it looking like a castle compared to other houses in the neighborhood when it was built.-Everything in the house is beautifully arranged and it is obvious they spend a lot of time and money to maintain it and keep it looking so stellar for the tours.Highly recommend!

It was an interesting place but it wasnt the coolest house/mansion I have seen.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit at the Conrad/Caldwell Museum. The house is beautiful as well as the surrounding houses. Our docent was a descendant of the Caldwell family which made the tour that much more special. She spent a lot of time with us answering all our questions. She allowed us to see the attic which housed many other interesting pieces of history belonging to the family. I highly recommend making this a stop on your Old Louisville vacation.

If youre visiting Louisville, this old Louisville house is worth it. I recommend to take the tour, which beautifully explains the architecture and the owners of the house, as well as a little about the southern exposition. The gift shop has really cute things to buy from as well. The tickets are 10$for adult and 6$ for students which is extremely reasonable. All in all a site and neighborhood worth visiting.

We had a great tour of the house. Our tour guide was a great. So many family stories since she her relatives lived in the house. A must see if you are in the area!

Beautiful house, super interesting tour!

Located in the largest Victorian neighborhood in America, a gem.

Wonderful piece of history from the. Victorian era. Great tour.

Great place to learn about history!

Visited with my fiancee, amazing tour of this beautiful house

Really enjoyed the tour and the childrens program.

Worth every minute. Incredible woodwork. Beth was a fantastic guide.

Beautiful architecture, the wonderful woodwork, with features unique to the era. Worth an hour of your time.

Great place to take a tour. Very interesting historic site.

Really amazing piece of architecture, particularly the interior woodwork. Docent was very knowledgeable on the history of the home and families that built and lived there. Great way to spend a couple hours. The St James Court neighborhood in which this house is located is full of unique homes.

Barb took us through the historic Louisville Palace. She is one of the Caldwell descendants, and added such a personal touch to the guided tour. My boyfriend and I enjoyed it immensely. Definitely a Louisville must see.

Great historic house, brought even more alive by being guided by one of grandchildren of the original family.

Great tour! Keith was an excellent docent and guide. Learned a lot about the house and enjoyed it very much.

Linda was terrific tour guide. The house is amazing...so beautiful and we would recommend the visit to all.

Worth visiting. Beautifully restored home with many original furnishings and belongings from the original owners family.

Very knowledgeable staff, amazing historc home.

Excellent and informative tour! Went on a Thursday when great granddaughters are giving tour. They are a welth of information. Most items inside are original to when their great grandparents had home.

Lovely place to visit. I took my mother on this tour and she loved every second. The house is over 9,000 sqft and every inch of it holds a peice of history. There is also an elevator despite the age of the house. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Was worth taking the tour and learning about the past of louisville. Tour is conduxted by relatives and alot of fun. Must see

Lovely home and the tour was very interesting, ours was given by the great, great granddaughter.
