This weekend some of Old Louisville’s historic Victorian homes will open their doors to spread the holiday cheer as part of the Old Louisville Holiday Home Tour.

From 12-5 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 3 and Sunday, Dec. 4, you can sneak a peek before Christmas — don’t worry, you’re allowed — into Victorian mansions and townhomes dressed for the holidays. The tour is an easy, self-paced walk of three blocks around St. James Court.

Snag an Early Bird ticket before 9 p.m. on Friday for $30, a ticket at the door for $35 — or volunteer and spend your whole afternoon in the mansions for free.
