... you must take time to visit some of the museums there. I only had time for three; the merest hint of what's available.
I visited the Louisville Slugger Museum on Sunday, so I didn't see bats actually being made (the museum is next to H&B, the company that's been making bats for 122 years), but we still walked the production floor and saw the equipment that was used. I enjoy factory tours, so this was a real treat.
After the factory tour, I spent a brief hour in the Louisville Science Center until it closed. I like any museum that lets me get hands-on, and this one is well-supplied with the stuff science geeks love.
The next day, I spent five hours in the Frazier International History Museum. It is the perfect place for someone interested in historic arms and armor. One floor is devoted to British history (pieces on loan from the British Armories), another primarily to 16th- to 20th-century items from America. The docents portray characters from Revolutionary War soldiers, to 18th-century swordsmen, to early 20th-century suffragettes. I would have liked to stay longer, but I had a plane to catch.
