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.

The first settler in the Clough-Newtown area was Ichabod Benton Miller. He lived in this log cabin…read moreon what is now Clough Pike. 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!

This was such a delight to walk into a Victorian home where the dining area we were sitting in was decked out and I felt like I had walked into a scene of "Downton Abbey." The tea was delicious! All the food was beautifully presented (Unfortunately for those who are gluten and dairy free, make sure you eat beforehand, none of the options cater to those limitations, however they did have fruit kabobs!). The tour of the home was a fun exploration and our tour guide was very informative of the time period and the residents of the home back in the 1800's.

That being said Harrison (with the good hair!) was 10 out of 10 the best. Truly hands down the best tour we have done. SO much fun. Harrison had the perfect blend of history, humor and story telling that made the time fly and the experience fun for all. My only regret is that the kids and grandkids were not on this trip because I think they would have loved it as well. This is a tour for everyone. We loved learning about the city and enjoyed Cincinnati much more than we anticipated and can't wait to come back and do another tour...hopefully with Harrison! We are proud supporters of public education and hopefully did our part to show that while visiting! If you know...you know! Run don't walk to this tour. You won't be dissappointed!

Cincinnati is a vibrant city full of art and history museums, brilliant street art, and impressive Art Deco buildings. Things I've enjoyed during my time in Cincinnati (I've written or am preparing to write separate reviews for each of these) --Cincinnati Zoo, which is the best zoo I've been to, and consistently ranks top zoo or top couple zoos in the nation. They also have the famous Fiona the hippo. --Cincinnati Museum Center, a classic Art Deco train depot housing a history museum, a natural history museum, a children's museum, and more. Their lobby is gorgeous! --The Freedom Center (National Underground Railroad Museum), focusing on the enslaved and ending slavery as well as other social justice issues --The American Sign Museum, which is bursting with history and photo ops of neon signs and other historical signage, with a neon shop on site they restores and makes new signs --Beautiful riverfront Park that boasts the Roebling suspension bridge, the sister bridge designed by the same engineer/architect of the Brooklyn Bridge. --TONS of murals and street art all over the city --There is a contemporary art museum I am seeing next week. --There is a traditional art museum I am also seeing next week. This city is not without its troubles. Some neighborhoods are better than others. Just be aware of your surroundings. I did more driving than walking here because of some perceived or experienced issues (cat calling, harassment), but that's only certain areas. Downtown and the riverfront seem pretty walkable. It's no Chicago or NYC, but it's a solid midwestern town with a lot of offer, and it's definitely a great place to spend a long weekend.

Francis was very accomodating and worked diligently with me to analyze measurements and photos detailing the painting and the space, and made helpful recommendations to get just the right design. Francis ordered what was needed and when my daughter came in town he assembled the painting and frame with a quick turn-around so she could take it home in her car rather than have it shipped. The quality and craftsmanship was excellent. The painting looks beautiful, and my daughter was very happy with the result!
