A Legacy of Community and Creativity

From the beginning, Louisville was different. Unlike most coal camps, Louisville miners lived and worked right in town. These original citizens were tough, resourceful people who relied on each other to survive. Their legacy of community and creativity is an ongoing source of inspiration to those of us who live in, work in, and visit this truly unique place.

Downtown Louisville Today

When you visit Historic Downtown today you will find 100 year old wooden buildings lining Main, Front and Pine streets. This frames an area that is home to over 100 businesses including restaurants, retail, a wide variety of professional services and a thriving art scene with galleries, studios and live music almost every night of the week. The Museum is here, so is City Hall and the Public Library.

Enjoy one of our personality filled pubs. Peruse our unique shops. Dine at one of our award-winning restaurants. Catch one of our only-in-Louisville events. The five square blocks that comprise Historic Downtown Louisville have pretty much everything a person could want, including a soul-soothing and authentic small town American experience.
