Originally named the Idlewild, she was built by James Rees & Sons Company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for the West Memphis Packet Company in 1914 and was first put into service on the Allegheny River. Constructed with an all-steel superstructure and asphalt main deck, the steamboat is said to hold the all-time record in her class for miles traveled, years in operation, and number of places visited. The Belle's offices are located within the Mayor Andrew Broaddus, also a National Historic Landmark. The Idlewild operated as a passenger ferry between Memphis, Tennessee and West Memphis, Arkansas. She also hauled cargo such as cotton, lumber and grain. She then came to Louisville in 1931 and ran trips between the Fontaine Ferry amusement park near downtown Louisville and Rose Island, a resort about 14 miles upriver from Louisville. In 1934, she operated a regular excursion schedule through World War II. During the war, she was outfitted with special equipment to push oil barges along the river. She also served as a floating USO nightclub for troops stationed at military bases along the Mississippi River. After the war, in 1947, she was sold to J. Herod Gorsage, and the name was changed to Avalon. Over the next few years, the Avalon visited ports all along the Mississippi, Missouri, St. Croix, Illinois, Kanawha, Ohio and Cumberland Rivers. Her many stops included Omaha, Nebraska; Stillwater, Minnesota; Montgomery, West Virginia; and Nashville, Tennessee. By 1962, the Avalon fell into disrepair, and might have seen the end of its days, until Jefferson County Judge Marlow Cook bought her at an auction for $34,000. She came to Louisville and was re-christened the Belle of Louisville. #3 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville 4th Street Live Entertainment District (Neighborhood) 420 W Liberty St Louisville KY ~0.38 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to 4th Street Live Entertainment District Louisville's premier entertainment and retail district located on Fourth Street in the heart of historic downtown Louisville, KY. http://www.4thstlive.com #4 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Riverfront Plaza Belvedere Louisville KY ~0.38 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Riverfront Plaza Belvedere #5 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Galleria Mall Clarksville KY ~0.39 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Galleria Mall #6 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts Louisville KY ~0.43 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts #7 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Muhammed Ali Center Louisville KY ~0.47 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Muhammed Ali Center http://www.alicenter.org #8 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft Louisville KY ~0.56 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft #9 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Louisville Science Center 727 W Main St Louisville KY - 502-561-6100 ~0.57 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Louisville Science Center #10 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Louisville Slugger Bat Factory and Museum 800 West Main St. Louisville KY - 1-877-7-SLUGGER ~0.64 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Louisville Slugger Bat Factory and Museum http://www.sluggermuseum.org #11 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Louisville Glassworks Louisville KY ~0.68 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Louisville Glassworks #12 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Thomas Edison House Clarksville KY ~0.68 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Thomas Edison House #13 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Louisville Palace Louisville KY ~0.70 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Louisville Palace #14 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Louisville Waterfront Park Louisville KY ~0.70 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Louisville Waterfront Park #15 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Frazier International History Museum Louisville KY ~0.72 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Frazier International History Museum #16 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Downtown Louisville (Neighborhood) Clarksville KY ~0.90 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Downtown Louisville #17 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Falls of the Ohio Interpretive State Park Louisville KY ~1.09 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Falls of the Ohio Interpretive State Park #18 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Falls of the Ohio Wildlife Conservation Area Louisville KY ~1.17 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Falls of the Ohio Wildlife Conservation Area #19 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Colgate Palmolive Factory and Clock Louisville KY ~1.29 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Colgate Palmolive Factory and Clock The Colgate Clock, located at a Colgate-Palmolive factory in Clarksville, Indiana, is one of the largest clocks in the world. It has a diameter of 40 feet (12.19 meter). It was first illuminated in Clarksville on November 17, 1924. It is located directly across from Louisville, Kentucky. Before the factory was bought by Colgate, it served as the Indiana Reformatory South. It opened in 1847, replacing the state prison which had opened in Jeffersonville in 1821. In 1919 a fire broke out in the prison, causing the need to spend much money to restore it to full operating procedure. Instead, the state of Indiana decided to relocate the prison elsewhere. Colgate happened to be looking for a Midwestern location following the post-World War I boom, and heard of the prison's availability. The state sold the building to Colgate in 1923. Prisoners, in fact, helped with the conversion from prison to soap-making plant, and even stayed in cells at the location while the conversion took place. Designed by Colgate engineer Warren Day and constructed by the Seth Thomas Clock Company for the centennial of the Colgate Company in 1906, the clock served as the original Colgate Clock at Colgate-Palmolive facilities in Jersey City, New Jersey. The clock, facing the Ohio River to the south, can be viewed across the river in Louisville, Kentucky. The clock can be seen in the movie The Insider when Al Pacino and Russell Crowe are talking in the car. #20 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Landward House Louisville KY ~1.91 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Landward House #21 of 30 Things To Do in Louisville Conrad Caldwell House Museum 1402 Saint James Ct Louisville KY - 502-636-5023 ~1.98 miles from Louisville city center Hotels Close to Conrad Caldwell House Museum A magnificent Richardsonian Mansion on St. James Court.
