As this writer points out, the Derby may be the huge draw for tourists in Louisville, but the small, sweet town has lots more to offer. I found this out during a weekend trip about a year-and-a-half ago. In addition to Bardstown Road, Cherokee Park and the Slugger Museum, I also recommend the Speed Art Museum and the Phoenix Hill Tavern for live music of all stripes.
