10 Fascinating and Fun Summer

Cincinnati, OH

This midwestern city might not strike you as the first place to visit on your summer vacation, but it offers a wide variety of intriguing places for those who love history. The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center provides an in-depth look at slavery and the fight for freedom, including modern-day human trafficking. On a lighter historical note, you can visit the American Sign Museum which displays more than 200 signs and offers a timeline of how they have evolved since the early 1900s.

Other spots not to miss include the Cincinatti Museum Center, the German Heritage Museum, the Harriet Beecher Stowe House, the Taft Museum of Art, the William Howard Taft National Historic Site, and Wolff Planetarium. And don't miss a historic train ride on the Cincinnati Railway or a boat ride on the Ohio River. When you are ready for some outdoor summer fun, head over to Sawyer Point, a riverfront park featuring sporting facilities, water features, and performances.  <
