Divine Keys

Another major player in Cincy’s cultural scene is the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, or CSO. The fifth oldest orchestra in the US, the CSO is well known throughout the world for its recordings and tours. For over 200 years, the CSO has brought evolutionary music to Ohio and continues to do so with its year-round performances. Hear them play in the historic Music Hall!

Journey back to when Cincy was one of the most prosperous cities in the country. Cincinnati Brewery District Lager Tours not only showcase the Queen City’s rich (and delicious) brewing history, it also explores the influence of prohibition on the culture. See all the big-name breweries and the tunnels beneath them that played major roles in the development of the city.

Come by the Cincinnati Arts Association’s Music Hall for a memorable musical performance. Home to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the Cincinnati Opera, the May Festival Chorus and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, this historic entertainment venue and performance hall maintains its classical architecture and appeal along with some of the best acoustics in the world.

See where the 27th president of the United States was born and raised when you come by the William Howard Taft National Historic Site. This two-story Greek Revival house has been perfectly preserved and meticulously maintained over the years. Established as a National Historic Site in 1969, this house is now open as a museum for the public.
