About this event
Have you ever wondered what changed when Cincinnatians crossed the canal into Over-the-Rhine? The Over-the-Rhine Museum's Tenement Life South of Liberty tour takes you through the neighborhood's rich history, from its earliest residents and the Miami-Erie Canal, now Central Parkway, to more recent stories of housing activism. Along the way, discover how Over-the-Rhine evolved into one of Cincinnati's most storied neighborhoods.
What to expect
This guided tour focuses on the area between Central Parkway and Liberty Street, weaving together stories of Over-the-Rhine’s earliest residents with the neighborhood’s long evolution. Expect a history-rich walk that connects the former canal, tenement life, German immigrant communities, Appalachian and African American residents, and more recent housing activism.
Why go
Tenement Life South of Liberty offers a grounded way to understand one of Cincinnati’s most storied neighborhoods beyond its familiar architecture and nightlife. Beginning at Cincinnati Music Hall, the tour frames Over-the-Rhine as a living neighborhood shaped by migration, housing, work, civic space, and the people who made their homes there.
