Cousin, Muhammad Ali Childhood Home Museum — Attraction in Louisville

This is the childhood home of Mohammad and Rahaman Ali, then known as Cassous and Rudy Clay. A childhood friend was our tour guide while we were there and was a delight to be there with.

The home has been refurbished to how it was during the Clay's childhood as much as is possible. Using period pieces when actual family pieces were not available. The house is small but the tour is very well put together and presented with a "feel" about the Clay family that one can not get elsewhere. The history learned here was a great addition to what we had learned at the Mohammad Ali Center downtown the day before and was worth the admission charge.

After our tour​ we were getting ready to go back next door and buy a book and magnet when our tour guide told us "I believe that's Rahaman's car" we went into the house (it's where the gift shop and tour purchase is) and there sat Rahaman and his wife!

The house has been converted into a museum. However, currently not in operation. I remember it was on the market for sale a few years back. But you can see through the glass windows & see pictures of Ali and his families hung around the walls.

I sat on the stool & steps on porch/veranda. It was very hot that day; August 2025. I probably spent a good hour sat there and took a few pics.

It was a fascinating experience for me, knowing that young Ali was moulded in this exact space.

I also visited the; Muhammad Ali Center and payed my respects to Ali at his resting place in Cave...

As you pull up there a gentleman on the porch waiting to greet you. You immediately feel welcomed upon arrival. It's kind of pricey and very limited parking. I thought the price was high for a tour considering it such a small tour. They should clean up the area surrounding the house. I gave them five stars because it newly opened andb the gentleman on the porch made it worth my money. The two tour guides did an awesome job and they were knowledgeable...
