The Glitter Ball City Walking Tour with the Author Himself
Overview
Since 2004, Louisville Historic Tours offers the ORIGINAL guided walks of Old Louisville. This recent addition to our line-up is unique in that it is always guided by our founder and local writer, David Dominé, himself!
Because of the success of his recent true-crime memoir, A DARK ROOM IN GLITTER BALL CITY, throngs of visitors have been flocking our way to check out the sites featured in the story, which reviewers have referred to as "the next Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." This narrated jaunt through Old Louisville provides the perfect opportunity for fans to spend time with the author while learning about his writing process and inspirations.
Included in this adventure are a visit inside the stunning Conrad-Caldwell Mansion, as well a welcome cocktail and souvenirs. Each participant also receives an autographed, personalized copy of the book, in addition to a sweet treat. The group size is kept small, so sign up now and reserve your spot for when David is in town!
