The Frazier Museum is located on West Main Street in Louisville; the most convenient way to reach the museum is by car. Take I-64, I-65, or I-71 toward downtown; the museum is on the north side of Main Street, between 8th Street and 9th Street. The electric LouLift bus, which runs along Main and Market Streets, offers a free ride to the museum.

The Frazier History Museum is open every day except for major holidays and has shortened hours on Sundays. The museum is most crowded on weekends. Visit in the spring to enjoy the flower displays on the roof garden, or pre-book tickets to one of the museum’s popular evening events.
