Item Description
Take a tour for up to four people of the historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood in Cincinnati, Ohio. Started in 1830 by German immigrants, this neighborhood is a 362-acre collection of houses, businesses, churches and community gathering places boasting a large collection of Italianate buildings. The center of this neighborhood is the historic Findlay Market where the tour will stop for lunch at Tucker's restaurant, a family owned café for over 60 years, that looks like it's straight out of the picture books.
Over-the-Rhine was one of this year's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places . What makes this area unique besides its architecture is its rich history of America's immigrants. The early German immigrants transformed it into one of the most "German" cities in the United States. The area bubbled with the energy of a thriving middle-class ethnic neighborhood, with its cohesive architecture forming the backdrop for a close-knit German community that at one point included 45,000 residents. The community's traditions and institutions -- from beer gardens to churches, from singing societies to building and loan associations, from breweries to newspapers -- are reflected in the distinctive architecture of its buildings. Take time to learn about this community!
