A series of free walking tours, led by local historian Rick Bell, will explore the history of Louisville's riverfront and the development of today's acclaimed Waterfront Park. Beginning at the Belle of Louisville's landing at the Fourth Street wharf, the 90-minute tours will end at the Lincoln Memorial. Bell will describe the riverfront's importance to the growth of Louisville from its founding during the American Revolution, through its glory days during the Steamboat Era, to its renaissance as one of the world's most successful maritime recreational parks.
