Heritage Program Tours

For more than 20 years, the volunteer docents have shared their passion for history through the hundreds of audio-visual presentations, lectures, motor coach and walking tours presented to the public. As an outreach association of the Cincinnati Historical Society, the all-volunteer Cincinnati Heritage Program has unlocked doors to privately owned historical treasures not usually open to the public. All topics are thoroughly researched for authenticity.
