St. James Court Art Show - October 1, 2 & 3

One of the most well-known Old Louisville events - the St. James Court Art Show- will be held this year on October 1, 2 & 3. The Art Show is celebrating it's 53rd year. It has been voted the #1 Art Show in the U.S. for the past several years. Each year more than 300,000 people come to Old Louisville to enjoy this fabulous art show.

And for those needing accommodations for the Art Show, we have some availability at both the DuPont Mansion and the Inn at the Park.  Please go to our website at www.oldlouisvilleinns.com and click on Reservations to see what is still available.  We are right in the midst of this exciting event so there's no better place to stay during your Art Show experience!  You can shop, shop, shop then come back to the B&B and rest before you shop some more!

Room at the Table: Recipes from Kentucky's Premier B&Bs

The Bed and Breakfast Association of Kentucky has released a new cookbook, "Room at the Table". This coffeetable cookbook not only features gourmet recipes from member properties, but also guides readers on a scenic tour of Kentucky through its beautiful photography. A wide assortment of recipes are included such as appetizers, beverages, breads, breakfast/brunch, soups, salads, sides, entrees, and desserts. Copies are available through member inns, including both the DuPont Mansion and the Inn at the Park, or you may purchase it online at  Amazon.com or most major bookstores.  The DuPont Mansion is featured in the cookbook with several wonderful recipes, which we serve at the Mansion on a regular basis.  "Room at the Table" is available for purchase for $25.

University of Louisville Football

Many of our guests this weekend came for the U of L  vs. U K football game in the newly expanded Papa John's Stadium. The sell out crowd of 55,000 was treated to beautiful weather and a close, well played game.  The next Home Game is Saturday, September 11 against Eastern Kentucky University. There are still tickets left which you can purchase at www.uoflsports.com/tickets/lou-tickets and a few rooms remain at  www.OldLouisvilleInns.com, DuPont Mansion and Inn at the Park Historic Bed and Breakfasts, but you'd better hurry because both are going fast. One interesting and important fact: Given crowds the size of this weekend and our proximity to Papa John's Stadium (only 1.2 miles), shortly before and after game time you can walk to and from the B&B and Stadium  faster than you can drive in  the traffic.
