The Conrad-Caldwell House Museum
Discover Louisville’s haunted history alongside local craft brews with the Boo's & Brews Tour. Perfect for ghost story lovers and beer fans seeking a private, memorable evening.
The Conrad-Caldwell House Museum in Louisville, Kentucky, is a preserved Gilded Age mansion showcasing Victorian architecture, period interiors, and historical collections. Housed in a brick-and-stone Richardsonian Romanesque structure built in the late 19th century, the museum interprets the domestic life and social history of Old Louisville through original furnishings, decorative arts, and architectural details. Visitors can choose self-guided tours or docent-guided experiences to learn about the house’s design, restoration efforts, and the families who lived there. Signature events and seasonal programs include holiday candlelight tours, Victorian teas, lamplight evening tours that explore mourning customs, and music salon performances that celebrate operatic and orchestral traditions. The museum also participates in the annual Saint James Court Art Show with self-guided access during the event weekend. Educational walking tours highlight local history and notable women activists of Old Louisville. The institution maintains a commitment to preservation, public access, and historically informed interpretation, supported by trained volunteers, docents, and preservation professionals.
Special exhibitions, guided lectures, and volunteer-led programs provide deeper context for preservation projects and connect contemporary audiences with Louisville’s Victorian-era cultural heritage across seasons and generations.
