It's a shame that Vent Haven doesn't have more reviews. It's one of the more unique museums I have seen, and I have seen a lot of unusual museums around the world. It takes a little planning as you need to request a tour in advance, but it is well worth the small effort. The museum curator gives you a personal tour of the three buildings onsite. There are nearly 1000 dummies waiting to be discovered. They all have their own story, personality, and history. The profession is one with an interesting past, present, and future. I had a lot of fun here and learned a bunch of stuff I didn't know before. It takes about an hour, give or take how many questions you ask. This is well worth the $10 per person donation and is one of my favorite quirky museums in America. There are plans for a bigger facility and I look forward to seeing this museum grow. It deserves it. Make a plan and go visit Vent Haven.

Located at Cincinnati’s historic Union Terminal, the site where numerous Holocaust survivors arrived in Cincinnati to rebuild their lives, the museum examines this watershed moment through its local connection. Using innovative storytelling, interactive experiences, and genuine artifacts, visitors witness the strength and courage of the human spirit set against the backdrop of one of the darkest chapters in human history. The museum incorporates media, artifacts, art, and interactive exhibitions to share this history and its lessons. It also includes the Humanity Gallery where visitors explore moments, meeting individuals who activated their character strengths to become upstanders and bring change to our community and world.

The museum was informative and meaningful. Its reliance on anecdotes and personal stories from local survivors in the Cincinnati area strengthens the experience of learning about the horrific events of the Holocaust by adding local and personal connections. An excellent visit, and an important part of history explored.

Fort Thomas was an active military base from 1890 until 1950. Thereafter it housed an Army Reserve unit, VA Nursing Home, and Selective Service induction center. The water tower has been turned into a monument to the 6th Infantry which served in the Spanish American War. The museum tells this story and much more about how the post and the nearby community interacted. Need about an hour to tour unless you getting talking to the staff and then the time flies.
