About Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory

The Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory on downtown Louisville's Museum Row is marked by a 120-foot, 68,000-pound baseball bat outside the building. A guided factory tour of about 30 minutes shows bats being made, and every guest leaves with a miniature bat. In the galleries you can hold bats used by baseball legends, look into the Bat Vault and take swings in the batting cages. Exhibits tell how Bud Hillerich made a bat for Pete Browning in 1884.
