Cincinnati Heritage Programs

Cincinnati Museum Center Heritage Programs is proud to offer historical, cultural and architectural tours around Greater Cincinnati

For more than 30 years, the docents have enjoyed sharing their passion for history through their walking and motorcoach tours and hundreds of audiovisual presentations. As an outreach association of the Cincinnati History Museum, the all-volunteer Cincinnati Heritage Programs has unlocked doors to privately owned places generally not open to the public. All topics are thoroughly researched for accuracy. The Ambassadors of Cincinnati History strive to inspire people to learn and appreciate Cincinnati, Ohio's history. We offer tours to suit your individual interests.

During a 45-minute tour of the 1933 train station, docents explain the architecture, construction and art of one of the finest examples of the Art Deco style.
