Louisvillederby town

Tour Louisville from its birthplace, the Ohio River, and do it in style on the Belle of Louisville. This city icon and National Historic Landmark dating from 1914 is the oldest operating paddlewheel steamboat in the nation. Propelled only by her paddlewheel, the Belle employs no modern navigation systems (but in a concession to the times, is air-conditioned inside). Traverse the Ohio on a lunch, dinner or dance cruise, and look for special events year-round including foliage tours, holiday excursions and live bluegrass cruises as well as moonlight trips and New Year's bashes. No matter the time of year be sure to stand overlooking the bright red paddlewheel as it churns up the mighty river and imagine yourself an explorer on an adventure in the new frontier.
