Heritage Programs presents an amazing tour of the Geier Center, which stores all of the artifacts…read morenot on display at Cincinnati Museum Center. The Geier Center is home to 350,000 Cincinnati history objects, and a total of over one million history and natural history items. The four hour tour costs $35.00 and includes a show-and-tell with the Geier Center curator as well as a walking tour to view all the shelves in the depository. Here's a small list of what I saw: - A trowel from 1928 which was used to lay the first cornerstone at Union Terminal. - A leather baby shoe from Mary Ludlow, the first infant born in Cincinnati in 1788. - Colonel James Findlay's dress cutlass, circa 1825. He was the founder of Findlay Market. - A pocket-sized tin to save chewed gum, invented in Cincinnati. - A firefighter's top hat, worn in parades in 1853. - A miniature milling machine used as a sales model which helped found Cincinnati Milling Machine Company (Milicron.) - A Crosely-brand car, drove by none other than Powel Crosley himself. The roof was only 5-feet tall and its maximum speed was 70 mph. - Boxes from Ivory Soap, the first floating soap, which was invented after too much oil was added to the mixture. - Ulysses S. Grant's baby crib. - An extensive collection of Civil War General William Lytle's belongings are in the depository, including his Union battle coat, writing desk, liquor chest, and war medal. A well-respected General, Lytle's soldiers fashioned the award by melting their wedding rings for gold. The medal also features a large emerald and several diamonds. - The hangman's hood from the execution of Alonzo Walling and Scott Jackson, who murdered Pearl Bryan after learning of her pregnancy. (Also known as Bobby Mackey's haunting.) The hood still has a mouth print on it. - A wooden, coffin-like "pen" for mental patients. Doctors would lock the patients in them when they went to bed. - Early dental tools, which resembled a nail on a metal stick and a hand-crank drill. People were terrified of dentists, as tooth extractions would often break of at the root leading to a painful infection. - Medical quackery devices, such as a Bleeder. Bleeding someone was thought to reduce the pressures in the body and keep fluids in balance. The bleeder was a sophisticated, "modern" device that had been invented to "reduce the humors". Bloodletting was used to treat a variety of illnesses and injuries and was a common practice for many centuries. - A wine cask that symbolized a pact between a group of men during a cholera outbreak. Every year on October 6, the men would meet and one bring the cask. The men vowed to never open the wine. Once all the members in the group died, the last man living would drink the wine. Most died in their 30s and 40s, but the oldest lived into his 80s and drank the wine. Inside the cask is the empty bottle as well as papers with details of each member, birth and death date. - A campaign poster from William Henry Harrison, one of the first Presidential candidates to create propaganda for themselves. During the Presidential election of 1840, Harrison was portrayed as an out-of-touch hard cider drinker who lived in a log cabin. To combat this stereotype, Harrison distributed large linen campaign posters embroidered with log cabins and cider jugs. He also passed out small jugs that were shaped like glass cabins and filled with cider. The liquor was distilled by the E.C. Booz company, which led to the origin of the word "booze." --- During this same election, Martin Van Buren was nicknamed "Old Kinderhook" after his birthplace in Kinderhook, NY. His supporters formed the "O.K. Club" and the phrase "He's O.K.!" This later developed of the word "okay." --- Harrison's campaign also consisted of a huge wooden ball that had slogans on it. The ball was rolled from town to town. It was a lot of work to "keep the ball rolling", and originated this figure of speech. All of these are a drop in the bucket compared to vast collection you will see on this tour. The variety of artifacts is amazing, and each has a vivid story. Whether you like the Civil War or dark history, Treasures of the Queen City has something for everyone.

We went on the Captain's Lunch Cruise on a sunny but chilly day in late April. It was really…read moreenjoyable and worth the price for sure. We sailed on the River Queen which is the smaller boat. The food buffet was very good and there was something for every taste. Very fresh salad with two dressing options, rolls, meltingly tender beef in a rich brown gravy, baked chicken, mashed potatoes, farfalle pasta in red sauce, scrumptious grilled vegetables. And decadent creamy cheesecake for dessert. Free coffee and tea, and reasonably priced bar drinks for purchase. Our server, Anna (Onna?) was most attentive and usually within sight if you wanted something. The whole crew were very professional, very polite and respectful and eager to please. Our entertainer was engaging with his ongoing narration of the sights and historical facts along the river interspersed with banjo music. The two hours went by quickly. I put on my hoodie and spent some time out on deck, where you can smoke 'em if you got 'em. I decided it was time for a cocktail so I ordered an Anchors Away which was delicious, nautically blue, and had a definite kick. I was really looking forward to getting the pictured souvenir glass, but the first of two wrinkles took place as I was advised they were out of them due to some recent large parties on the bigger boat. Boo. If you're going to advertise souvenir glasses, order more than enough to keep them in stock. Anna arranged to give me the drink in the larger souvenir vessel, which is pretty, but heavy ceramic and I don't see myself using it at home other than for a decoration. The second wrinkle was our bar tab printed out as though I ordered multiple drinks. My husband didn't look at it and just handed over the debit card...then I saw it and went up to tell them not to run it but it was too late. Somehow they had already realized it was wrong but it took such a long time for them to figure out how to void the transaction, which bothered me. The cruise director had to get involved to fix it. Her name was Tasha and she was very nice and so apologetic about the situation, she comped our drinks for the trouble and boxed up some cheesecake for us to take home. She seemed to agree with me that if the owners had not decided to "go cashless" last year this would never have happened. I asked her to pass on my comment that it is not good to refuse to accept payment in legal tender American money and I feel it was a bad move. For this reason I will never give five stars even if the cruise is flawless. Nonetheless I hope to have the chance to take a cruise on the River Queen later this year.

Our server, Keisha, was great but was overwhelmed with drink orders before the buffet started. After a somewhat chaotic start, the staff got their rhythm going and everything worked better from that point on. The buffet was really delicious. The tour itself was OK. It had a great view of downtown Cincinnati at the beginning but not much else after that. It was a decent trip, but only for the food and the great service from Keisha.

I did a private tour with Craft Connection for the bachelorette party for my soon to be sister-in-law. I wasn't looking forward to the experience at all because 1) I don't drink, 2) I'm an introvert, and 3) the only people I would know going into this experience were my sister and the bride-to-be. I truly expected this to be the worst way to spend a Saturday night, not to mention, the price for the non-drinker like myself was still expensive at $35. I was in for a pleasant surprise. Our tour guide John arrived right on time at our starting point, came into the house, had us all sign a waiver, and put us on the bus. The bus comfortably sat all 12 of us with a couple of open seats. John explained the rules of the bus: most of the rules would not be strictly enforced with the exception of one - absolutely no Justin Bieber songs were to be played. Inside the bus was a cooler with little water bottles (help yourself!) and also served as the place to put any beer brought on board. Pro-tip: If you're into that kind of thing, bringing beer onboard the bus is highly encouraged to keep the party going. There was also a small cabinet on the bus with snacks inside (again, help yourself!) but another pro-tip is to bring snacks along because there will be a lot of beer consumed and you will definitely want some food on your stomach. On each of the seats was a green cup, which was to serve as our beer cup at each of the three breweries we were about to visit. Before we left for our first destination, John appointed a DJ and had her connect her phone to the bluetooth to have some tunes for the ride. Our three destinations were Blank Slate, 50 West, and Rheingeist. At each of the breweries, John picked the first 3 beers based on what he likes, what is easy to drink, what the brewery is known for, or based on what he thinks the group collectively will like. The first three beers are presented in a pitcher, and John pour for everyone and gives a brief explanation of the chosen beer and the flavors you will taste. At each location we were also treated to a brief behind the scenes experience where we learned a little bit about the brewing process. We were also given plenty of time at each brewery to sit and socialize and enjoy the flavors of the beers. The fourth beer was chosen by someone in the group and filled into a growler, to be consumed on the bus on the way to the next stop. PLEASE do not forget to bring your ID - some of the breweries might require photo ID to enter (I'm looking at you Rheingeist) and if you don't show your ID you aren't allowed to drink inside the brewery. At the end of the tour, the bus will drop you off at whatever location you choose: back home where the party started or at a separate location to keep the party going. I cannot say enough good things about John. He was filled to the brim with personality and extremely quick witted. I was also impressed with his vast knowledge of beer, in general, as well as the brewing processes. I might have learned a thing or two from him. John treated all of us as old friends and was participating in all of the festivities, including a super hilarious bachelorette party game. I'm pretty sure he had as much fun as our group did!

Booking was a breeze and the price point is fantastic for everything you get on your tour. They'll even pick up or drop off anywhere you'd like which is so convenient for larger groups like ours.

They also canceled our reservation less than a month away from our party because they "couldn't find us a driver". Don't waste your time with them, go straight to Craft Connection, they're amazing!
