Description:
Louisville's only arboretum is also the final resting place of Kentucky Fried Chicken's founder, Colonel Sanders, and Patty Smith Hill, who wrote (with her sister) the tune for the Happy Birthday song. The Cave Hill Heritage Foundation offers historical, geological and Civil War walking tours periodically throughout the year (the 2011 dates have yet to be announced), as well as a Twilight Driving tour and birding tour. You can walk through the cemetery on your own for free.
