KY Part 2: Louisville Riverside Park, Frazier & Slugger Museums
After our tour of Churchill Downs, it was lunchtime. We had packed a picnic cooler and found a wonderful park next to the Ohio River. Lots of families were out and about!
Next stop: Frazier history museum. Top floor was the traveling exhibit: the NFL experience!
Look at how big an NFL football is.
Test your vertical!
Our little Packer fan with a legend.
Time your pass!
1st floor: local Civil War history, including a performance by this very talented and friendly curator. Kentucky was a fierce battleground between the North and the South.
"Gridiron Glory" exhibit poster outside of the Frazier. And just a few steps took us over to......the Louisville Slugger Museum with this traveling exhibit from Warner Brothers!
Of course, we had to try the batting cages. Not easy to hit a Major League pitch!!
Although a machine is used to carve/spin out the bats, each bat is stamped and stain-dipped by hand. Several players commission their own bats to be made, somewhere like 50 bats per player per season. Another must-see stop in Louisville!
