2024 Oral History Association Annual Meeting

Meet at the registration desk 15 minutes prior to tour time.

Cincinnati’s historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood was settled in the mid to late nineteenth-century and home to Cincinnati’s German immigrant population. Its large collection of Italianate architecture has recently brought wealthy residents to this formerly low-income urban enclave. As change moves through the neighborhood, the Over-the-Rhine Museum is using oral history to preserve and celebrate lesser-known stories of this now-trendy urban hotspot. This tour will focus on life in Over-the-Rhine’s tenements across time.
