Louisville Cemetery
Founded by African American citizens in 1886, Louisville Cemetery is the final resting place of notable Black Louisvillians from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Wander the headstones to find the marker for William Walker, Sr., an accomplished jockey and Kentucky Derby winner, plus Dr. Robert B. Scott, cofounder of the Louisville Red Cross Hospital which served the Black community. Look for Kentucky Historical Society Marker #1992 on Poplar Level Road during your visit.
Accessibility: Due to the historic nature of the cemetery, accessibility may be limited for those with mobility challenges.
