Day 7 - Cave Hill Cemetery
Perhaps I’m alone in feeling that cemeteries are tranquil and strangly enough comforting. To me, a Sunday afternoon walking tour of Cave Hill seems like the ideal activity to end our week in Louisville. There are three tours to choose from; one historical, one horticultural and the other modern. All three will keep you entertained and you may even learn a thing or two.
Cave Hill Cemetery was opened in 1848 and contains the gravesites of city founder Gen. George Rogers Clark, renown Courier-Journal editor Henry Watterson (and namesake of I-264), and many other noted Louisvillians.
Cost of the walking tour $25.00, proceeds benefit the Cave Hill Cemetery Preservation Fund
When your stomach starts talking, head over to…
Baxter Station Bar and Grill a century old tavern transformed into a bistro, listed of one Louisville’s top 20 resturants. Choosing what to have off this menu will be hard, so if you can’t decide let me help you out; start with the Warm Goat Cheese Salad then try the chicken breast stuffed with Serrano ham, pistachio, and goat cheese drizzled with blackberry sauce, it will not disapoint. If you’re thirsty go for a bottle of Dixie Blackened Voodoo Lager or Fuller’s ESB from the tap.
