We did not have an appointment but wanted to see the towers/area. WOW! The Louisville Water Tower/Area was AMAZING! There are ten statues above the first level's balustrade, each standing on a pedestal over a Corinthian column. The entire area is very well kept and impeccable! While we did NOT go inside since we did not have an appointment, it is well worth going. The buildings, statues, structures are mind boggling! The area is very well kept too. We thought we would do a quick drive by/visit and ended up spending ~30 minutes reading the historical signs/markers and were just awed at the statues on the water tower itself! This place is a hidden gem and worth the visit if in the area! There is no fee/cost to review this area.

We arrived too late to go inside but were able to walk the grounds some. The park area is nice and the buildings look very nice. There are some history boards posted outside so you get some information even if you can't go in.

This offers beautiful examples of historic architecture and machinery, as well as a brief glimpse at modern Louisville's water source. Just a bit off of the beaten path, this place is well worth spending half an hour snapping pics and drinking in local history.

Very interesting place and the history of it is enlightening. The museum is smaller but a good size to keep interest and attention. It was really interesting to find out the real difference between a water tower and water storage tanks that we call water towers!

I visited in Sept 2017, and the treatment facility was closed to tours at that time. Idk if that has changed, but it would probably bump it to a 4 star experience if so. The museum was actually interesting despite the narrow subject matter, and we did walk into the bottom of the old water tower. Docents were very nice. Fee was reasonable, but I didn’t remember having to schedule a tour then, so maybe that has changed.
