Under-the-Rhine: Tales of Beer, Bones, and Bathrooms

  • St. Francis Seraph Church 1615 Vine Street Cincinnati, OH, 45202 United States (map)

The Over-the-Rhine Museum is thrilled to announce the next installment in our quarterly lecture series, “Three Acts Under-the-Rhine” on Thursday, June 29, 2017, at St. Francis Seraph Church at Liberty and Vine Streets in Over-the-Rhine. We have all heard about the amazing history above ground in Over-the-Rhine.  But there are many tantalizing tales that exist below ground, in the neighborhood’s secret beer tunnels, its crypts and forgotten burial sites like Washington Park, and in the sewage system and privies. Our speakers, Steve Hampton, Kevin Pape, and Anne Delano-Steinert, will weave these tales of intrigue for you in three interesting discussions.  

Doors will open at 6:00 PM for appetizers and cocktails before the event, with speakers starting at 6:30 PM. The Museum suggests a $5 donation for this thrilling evening of little-known stories. Guests can enter through the main church entrance on Liberty Street.
