3 WEST MCMICKEN AVENUE:
OUR FUTURE HOME
In 2020, the Museum’s Board purchased a property at 3 West McMicken Avenue in Over-the-Rhine. The property contains a tenement building facing on McMicken and a single-family home facing on Findlay Street. This building will be restored as a home for Over-the-Rhine’s stories.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT…
FIRMLY AGAINST RACIAL INJUSTICE
June 2020:
In response to recent events in Minneapolis, Louisville and across the country, the Over-the-Rhine Museum stands firmly against racial injustice and police brutality. Black lives matter to our museum, our community and our history, and we acknowledge the rights of the aggrieved and oppressed to voice their discontent in a free society. Protest and dissent is part of the rich history of Over-the-Rhine.
We encourage the residents, business owners, friends and families of our diverse community to continue the process of building bridges of solidarity and mutual understanding during these challenging times, as we all work towards justice. We will continue to have conversations that celebrate the history of Cincinnati and Over-the-Rhine, while also challenging ourselves and others to do the difficult work of building a more empowered, inclusive and joyful community.
MUSEUMS THAT INSPIRE US
We are in the process of restoring this former tenement building at 3 West McMicken Avenue / 12 Findlay Street. As we explore the stories of the more than 150 families and businesses who called this place home, the Over-the-Rhine Museum is working to raise $5 million to carry out all phases of the restoration.
