Beautiful cast iron detailing is one of the reasons this district is so impressive. Tourist attractions like the Louisville Slugger Museum and the Louisville Science Center can be found in the area, which is also home to the Fort Nelson site, built in 1782. Many of the buildings have been renovated into apartments and upscale shops. Tours of Main Street are offered Monday through Friday from 11am to 3pm by the Main Street Association. For information, call 502-568-2220. Particular areas of interest include the 100, 300, and 500-900 blocks of West Main.
