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.
About half an hour away from the heart of Cincinnati, Trammel Fossil Park in Sharonville is a wonderfully underappreciated family attraction. At the far end of an industrial park road, this hidden treasure offers tons of family fun for those budding paleontologists or anyone with an interest in natural history. The Fossil Hunt allows visitors to explore the plethora of fossils hands-on.
