Wednesday, 9 May 2012: Cincinnati History Museum Tour, Dinner and Union Terminal Program An exclusive tour of the Cincinnati History Museum, one of the largest and most significant urban history museums in the country, has been reserved especially for NGS Conference attendees. Experience the tremendous Art Deco rotunda of the Union Terminal train station, and see a model of the City of Cincinnati from 1900 to the 1940s with working trains and inclines. Sit in an antique Cincinnati streetcar, and explore a large homefront exhibit on World War II. Immerse yourself in a re-creation of the Cincinnati waterfront in the 1850s, including a steamboat ninety-four feet long. Learn about the “Brown Water” navy and how the western rivers were of strategic and logistical importance to the Union during the Civil War. The Cincinnati History Museum features exhibits on transportation, industry and many facets of the American experience that go beyond local interest.
The tour will last about one hour with easy walking including some up and down ramps. Following the tour, enjoy a private reception complete with cash bar and a delectable buffet dinner. The evening will end with a short program by a museum docent on the building of the magnificent Art Deco Union Terminal rotunda and train station.
Buses will leave from the Duke Energy Convention Center at 4:45 pm (subsequent buses will leave when loaded) for the short ride to the Cincinnati Museum Center. This tour will accommodate most individuals who can enter a bus with limited assistance. Following the program, buses will begin loading (about 8 pm) to return to the Convention Center. The price of $65.00 includes bus transportation, a ticket to the Cincinnati History Museum, a buffet dinner and the program. Seating is limited to 220 participants.
