Portland Museum
2308 Portland Ave, Louisville, KY 40212
Founded in 1978 by elementary school teachers, Portland Museum grew from a single classroom to its present location in Beech Grove, an antebellum “country seat” on the old road between Portland and Louisville. The Museum also owns, and is restoring, the Squire Earick House, an American Treasure, that may be the oldest house in Portland. Originally a town below the Falls of the Ohio River, Portland is now a Louisville neighborhood. The museum utilizes life-size mannequins with automated soundtracks, dioramas and video documentaries to interpret Louisville’s river heritage.
