Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory
Specialty Museum · Louisville, Kentucky
The working bat factory of Hillerich and Bradsby on West Main Street, where the Louisville Slugger has been made since a seventeen-year-old apprentice turned a replacement bat for a struggling Louisville hitter in 1884. A 120-foot steel bat leans against the front of the building, and the tour walks the actual production floor where major league bats are turned to order. Every visitor leaves with a free miniature bat, which is the detail everybody remembers.
800 West Main Street, Louisville, Kentucky, 40202, United States
Open daily, generally 9 AM - 5 PM with reduced Sunday hours and shorter winter hours; closed Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, New Year's Day and Kentucky Derby Day. THE FACTORY DOES NOT RUN on Sundays, most holidays or during shutdown periods — the production calendar is posted on the website.
