One of my favorite experiences in Cincinnati!! As someone who's always been obsessed with signage…read moreand neon, it was a dream come true for me to visit. Someday I'd love to go to the museum in Vegas and compare. I really wanted to take neon classes here, but didn't get the chance to - neon classes are generally super rare from what I can tell. If you have interest at all, you should take classes!! The love, care and knowledge put into this museum is really obvious. I just wish it was larger and had even more signs :) Loved the "city" concept as a display. I'll think of the sign museum fondly when I remember Cincinnati!

Great experience at the sign museum on our first ever trip to Cincinnati. We had spent way longer…read morethan expected browsing at Jungle Jim's and hurried our way over to the sign museum with an hour to spare. The employee let us know they closed in an hour, but we should still have enough time (an hour was the perfect amount of time for us to read and look at all the signs). It's priced reasonably enough that I would pay to go back and see it again if I wanted. Tons of signage (haha) to read about the signs. A couple of them had QR codes you could scan to read more about. The history of the sign industry was really cool to learn about, and seeing them lit up and in action was even better. I loved the way the museum was styled and designed, making it look like you're walking down a bustling street complete with storefronts, street lamps, and even a couple fire hydrants. If you're a fan of vintage artifacts and big flashing signs, then this is the place to visit!

There is a super small inside gallery area. A bunch of exhibits were covered so you couldn't see them. The outside is a small village with two structures. It was cool to go in and see you those looked like. There are plaques with what is around the circle area and you can either scan the QR code to get that information or borrow one of their books to learn about it. I think that's pretty cool. I think there is massive room for improvement and making things just look nicer. I think those in charge could learn a lot from how the Great Council State Park was done. Lots of room for more hands and interactive things to keep the kids interesting in learning about our past. This could also spell more revenue from schools for Field Trips.

What a charming, quirky and fun place! I was in the…read moreCincinnati area and this popped into my Facebook feed. You need to book an appointment to visit and the owner very graciously fit us in even though they had a fairly packed schedule. The space is in a cool art/studio space where various artisans rent out areas. The museum owner told me about some of the history of the building which was really interesting to hear. I love when old spaces are reimagined. When you get to the building that the museum is in, the cat museum is down the hall and to the right. (there isn't any directional signage when you enter the building). You know you are in the right place when you see the giant blow up lucky cat. The museum itself is a small space, but it is packed, literally wall to wall and floor to ceiling with lucky cat and other cat related items. There are several interactive items (noted with a paw so you know what you can and can't touch). There are items the owners collected, items created by the owners and items created and donated by others. One of my daughter's favorites was the weird al lucky cat and the super tiny lucky cat. We spent a surprisingly long amount of time in there because my daughter wanted to look at and take in as many details as possible. The museum itself is free, but you can make a donation. You can also support the museum and owner by making a purchase in the shop. They have everything from $1 small trinket items to large and expensive stuffed animals and souvenir shirts. If you are looking for something unique and quirky to do, definitely check out this super fun space.

Once inside go to the back and to the right... from there on it is easy because then you will see a big ole lucky cat and the entrance is marked.

A neat bit of Ohio River Valley history nestled in Anderson Township. Anderson Township Historical…read moreSociety does a nice job of preserving this piece of architectural history. It is one of only a handful of structures that still stand from when the area was originally settled in the 1700's. An interesting fact is that the house was continuously lived in for 170 years. It wasn't until 1971, when the Anderson Township Historical Society purchased the property that that record came to an end. Miller-Leuser House is named after the 1st and last family who occupied the home. The house has been on the National Register of Historic Homes since 1974. If in the are, or looking to visit a historic site for school/Scouts this is an easy site to tour quickly. Our visit was less than 30 minutes. The site makes for a nice educational detour if you will. A bonus is that there is no fee for visiting the site. Donations are always welcome. Pre COVID, the home was open for tours the 1st and 3rd Sunday, May-October, 1-4pm, and by appointment. They also ran plant sales, and a country store the last weeked in September to raise funds for restoration and upkeep. During COVID the location is open to school and family groups by appointment only.

This house is now a well known historical landmark of Cincinnati's first settlements. This house was built in 1796 a few years before the state of Ohio became an official state! This house is the area's oldest continually occupied house having been lived in until 1968! Could you imagine that?! After that family moved out, the cabin was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places. The Anderson Township Historical Society has events here during the holidays and you can go inside and visit the home most weekends. Call first to check!
