The Taft Museum is the home of former President Taft and was built in the 1820's. It became a…read morepublic museum in the 1930's. There are both permanent exhibits and periodic special exhibits plus a small restaurant and gift shop. During this visit the special exhibit was quilts, and more specifically, quilts made with indigo dyed cloth. Indigo was a prized dye years ago many tears ago and entire plantations all over the world were growing and processing the plants. German scientists eventually developed a synthetic indigo dye that replaced the labor-intensive farming process that had been used for centuries. The Taft is a great place to spend some time. Free parking in their garage under the museum. Admission is $15 for adults; $12 for seniors. Sundays and Mondays are free! Closed Tuesdays.

I had the pleasure of visiting this modest labor of love for an open house last week. You're not…read morewaltzing into the Smithsonian here, but if you play your cards right you'll get to see and maybe play with some rad machines of yore. In place of a hefty endowment, the Type & Print Museum seems to operate on the backs of just a couple of typesetting professionals/enthusiasts who are able to restore and operate the old machines and love them for their history and artistic value. Cincinnati was once a big regional player in the print industry, which has helped the director and curators obtain several varieties of print machines dating to the middle of the 19th century. The tour we personally enjoyed was a little scattershot, undoubtedly a consequence of it being part of an open house and not a dedicated tour, but I'm sure it would be especially gratifying to come in and have a more personalized guided experience. So, why come here? Because you'll see first-hand some very cool industrial-age machines. Nothing from Xerox. No keyboards or mouses. Worth a visit. Bring the kids and make 'em get ink stains.

This museum pays tribute to all efforts to abolish human enslavement and securing freedom for all people. 3 levels of information from videos, to exhibits, to artifacts, to live speeches, live dances etc. Gift shop available for purchase. Parking is frustrating and chaotic. Street parking actually worked for me after driving around repeatedly trying to find available parking garages. Check website for pricing and days of operation. Great overall museum!

Wow.... How have I never heard of this place? Gorgeous grounds, amazing architecture, you'll feel…read morelike you are in Europe or at least anywhere other than Cincinnati. Marble everywhere, gold leaf, gilded pianos, African wood paneled walls... This place oozes suave and sophistication like the Dos Equis fellow. Every nook and cranny of this place is well maintained and will be perfect for whatever event you attend. The staff are very easy to work with and I've since heard this echoed by others that have used this location formerly owned by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, Donald "Buddy" Larosa, and most recently the Moyer family who are the current caretakers. Another fun fact, this is the highest point in Hamilton County. Enough history! According to their website they offer tours, but I am not sure as their calendar did not seem to be current. So give them a call and see what is available http://www.laurelcourt.com/contact.html

If you are a cat person (like me) you will go wild here - and if you are a particular fan of "Fortune Cats" (also like me) your head will explode. A huge inflatable Lucky Cat greets you outside the door, step inside and it's all Lucky Cats, you will be surrounded by Lucky Cats of all sizes, shapes, styles. Don't forget to look under your feet and above your head as well. There are antique lucky cats, giant lucky cats, teeny tiny miniature lucky cats, families, characters, lucky cats used in advertising campaigns, paintings, plushies, Lucky Cat slot machines, and singing/dancing lucky cats which you can activate! The gallery owner/guide is the sweetest lady you will ever meet and she has thorough knowledge of all things Lucky Cat. Fascinating to learn their history, earliest appearances, legends, meaning of which hand is doing the beckoning, historical references, the story behind many of the acquisitions, etc. We spilled over our one hour tour, and the time just went by so fast. But of course, I made sure we visited the gift shop and made a purchase before heading out. It is by appointment only, which is very simple to make on the website. The owner responds instantaneously to text messages and is so helpful. The collection has been building almost 25 years and I hope will continue to grow for many more to come. I hope to visit again before another year goes by. Easy parking in the art studio's lot, and totally accessible for wheelchairs or scooters. Admission fee is donation. Don't forget to sign the guest book!
