TikTok really has opened my eyes to hidden treasures everywhere. I'm sure that I'm not the only one…read morethat feels this way. When you doom scroll, you come across many different places that are true hidden gems. Door To Nowhere, or Heigold House, is definitely an oddity and salute to the past. Some housekeeping, you know, things to know about this place. BE CAREFUL. This sits on a roundabout island with steady traffic. Be mindful to the traffic flow and businesses nearby (I parked at a nearby business off the road and walked over here). Be kind to the natural beauty that surrounds this. And most of all, be respectful. As I said, this sits on a roundabout with flowerbeds surrounding it. Whether you are facing front, as in looking at the front of the façade, or looking from the rear, please stay on the sidewalks provided. Take in the informational plaques as well. Built by Christian H Heigold, a successful stonecutter. Majority of the house was completed in 1853. Heigold was a master at stonecutting and completed the home with busts of Presidents George Washington and James Buchanan. Heigold was also a staunch opponent of the 'Know Nothing Party,' and anti-immigration political party and I would like to think that he built his house with all the busts was a big middle finger to those that were anti-immigration. This façade sat in what was known as the The Point neighborhood, which was favored by those that moved to the city from the New Orleans area. Once Louisville diverted the Beargrass Creek away from downtown, this place started to flood annually. Shifting people away from the neighborhood and then the Great Flood of 1937 happened. Slowly the city started buying houses and demolishing them. Ultimately using the land as a dump site. Then this façade was listed on the National Registry of Historical Places. Remained in that area which became Thruston Park. That is until a developer bought the land adjacent to this and build condos. They moved this massive beast, 70,000-pounds, across River Road to where it sits today.

Such amazing history, a must see spot ! Right off a main road but there is parking nearby !read more

Chickens, yes chickens and the steps that they used to take!…read more Originally, according to local lore these stairs were for the chickens that ran around in the neighborhood at large . Sometimes it's all in a name. Currently they have no chickens in the area. Now prior, this was a civil war holdup that proceeded to protect the area. Not a canon was fired from this strong hold position. It's great that these steps have a purpose for today connecting a neighborhood together. In the past it was where troops gathers anticipating an attack on Louisville. The idea that it's a heavy fortress is not ideal for today and our way of thinking, but its connection to the past tells our story. Remember your history! And this is a perfect place that has been incorporated into the narrative of the day to keep a connection open between neighbors while celebrating the past .

How did it get its name? [Louisville KY]…read more We drove to this location on the corner of Sixth Street and Park Avenue in Louisville where there is a famous landmark called the Witches' Tree. It's in front of an apartment house, did not see anyone around. I took my photos of the tree. It actually just looks like an ugly tree, so knotted, tortured, and misshapen, but there were odd things that hung on the tree, mostly trinkets, baubles and bead necklaces of different colors. The story goes that in the late 19th century this tree was the gathering place for a coven of witches. The witches cast a curse on the town when the city cut the tree down ahead of the annual May Day celebration. Exactly 11 months to the day after the tree was cut down, a historic deadly tornado hit Louisville. During the storm, lightning struck the stump of the old witches tree and a new tree began growing there... not a pretty tree but this ugly tree that stands there now. So now locals of the community leave small tributes on and around the tree to keep on the witches' good side and to bring good luck. This is a stop included on the Old Louisville historic ghost tour. Please be respectful of private property when visiting. Review #3912

Very striking and visually appeasing statue surrounded by nice Shrubbery and garden work. Very well landscaped and sticks out vividly in the complex. While it resembles the famed gallopalooza gorse series I believe this horse sculpture stands on its own. It does not feature the unique hand painted qualities of the gallopalooza horses and there is actually another for sure gallopalooza horse sculpture on the shopping complex property. Either way it is really well designed and looks great. Makes for a nice piece of public art and offers up some wonderful photo opportunities.

Awesome and interesting public art attraction that discovered off a roadside America website…read more Located in Jeffersonville right across the bridge of my home in Louisville stands this 20 foot hub cap woman called "I am your Mother". Evidently sculptured in the mid 1980s. Really neat cool roadside attraction. It's a bit difficult to find. If you follow the address that's listed everywhere online you will just continue past the point where your gps says "you have arrived". Continue straight about a 1/4th of a mile and you will come to an intersection and will see her to your left. You can take a left and pull in that small alley and get out and checks out the sculpture and read about it and take advantage of the unique photo op. Really cool attraction that I had no idea existed. But now that I do I'll share the info with other locals and make more future trips here. Hopefully getting added on yelp will make this hidden gem not so hidden. Cool sight to see!
