Itinerary
Meeting Point
Meet your guide on the sidewalk in front of the Irish pub at 956 Baxter Avenue. We recommend parking on a side street such as Morton or Highland, and NOT on busy Baxter Ave. (Note: There are two pubs with the same name in Louisville - ensure you are going to the one on Baxter, not Main!)
