ULI Cincinnati: WLI OTR Historic Walking Tour
Do you know the stories of the women of Over-the-Rhine? The Women's Leadership Initiative of ULI Cincinnati is hosting a walking tour that will explore women’s lives and work in Over-the-Rhine, from German-speaking immigrants in the mid-1800s up to African American women who moved to Over-the-Rhine in the 1960s. The tour will explore topics important to women's history—work for women, childbirth and motherhood, and social activism.
The Over-the-Rhine Museum recently began offering a series of fascinating educational walking tours of Cincinnati’s historic Over-the-Rhine and while ULI Cincinnati has seen and heard about many projects in the area, the organization has never heard these stories.
The mission of the Over-the-Rhine Museum is to build respect and understanding for those who have lived and worked in historic Over-the-Rhine by preserving and celebrating all the stories that Over-the-Rhine has to tell. This walking tour will share stories of real people who lived and worked in the neighborhood, from the early 1800s to the present.
