Lousiville Falls Fountain, intended as a major tourist attraction,  is located near the Belle of Louisville which was first put into service on what river?
Louisville Falls Fountain The Louisville Falls Fountain was intended as a major tourist attraction in Louisville, Kentucky. It was dedicated August 19, 1988, four days after the death of its benefactor, Barry Bingham, Sr. who, along with his wife, Mary Caperton Bingham, had donated $2.6 million towards the project and future upkeep. The computer-controlled fountain, located near the Belle of Louisville and just west of the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge, was supposed to be the tallest floating fountain in the world, and spewed 15,800 gallons of water per minute in the shape of a Fleur-de-lis. The Binghams were inspired by a fountain in Lake Geneva, Switzerland, and hoped a fountain in Louisville would become a symbol for the city on par with the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.
