THREE ACTS IN OVER-THE-RHINE

The Over-the-Rhine Museum invites you to be a part of our story series, Three Acts in Over-the-Rhine. Through this series we build relationships with individuals, businesses and organizations that are located in the ever-changing Over-the-Rhine neighborhood.

First launched in July 2015, this guest story series brings in local historians, advocates, and residents of Over-the-Rhine who each briefly discuss a selected theme, topic, or era—an “act”—related to the neighborhood’s history. 

Three presenters are invited to discuss research or first-hand accounts that relate to Over-the-Rhine, keeping the stories to about 15 minutes each. The goal is to make those in attendance think about Over-the-Rhine, encouraging them to engage their surroundings more fully and discover that these stories are part of the evolving fabric of the neighborhood.

Typically, each event attracts around 75 attendants and serves as a valuable fundraising opportunity for the Over-the-Rhine Museum. We also welcome and are grateful for the volunteers who donate their time to help us promote and set up these programs. Below are images from recent Three Acts events.

Since the summer of 2020, due to COVID-19, we have opened our program as a virtual or hybrid event where feasible. Audiences can view recorded talks by clicking on a past event listed below.

Note: The views and opinions expressed by program presenters are theirs alone and do not necessarily represent the views of the Over-the-Rhine Museum. The museum believes in sharing the broadest possible range of experiences, memories, and histories to expose audiences to the breadth of stories embedded in this neighborhood. We encourage all to engage critically with the stories we present to build their own understandings of Cincinnati’s past.
