Best Museums in West Chester Township

"Housed in Eden Park, the Cincinnati Museum of Art is always free to visit. As a result, it’s not hard to see why it’s among the best free things to do in Cincinnati!. At the museum, you’ll find a myriad of art forms comprising more than 67,000 works of art."

"Located across the Ohio River in Covington, KY, the Railway Museum of Greater Cincinnati is an entirely volunteer-run museum that features an incredible collection of authentic trains and railroad equipment. For anyone interested in the history of railroads or trains, this is a must-visit spot. Price: $4 Adults, $2 ages 10 and under (cash only)"

"Annwood Park is a delightful urban park in Cincinnati's East Walnut Hills neighborhood, originally donated to the City of Cincinnati in 1966 as a gift by Mrs. John Colville Taylor in memory of her husband, a regional Park Board Commissioner. The park, which is overseen today by the Cincinnati Park Board, is designated as a strictly sit-in park by Taylor, never to contain any recreational or playground facilities and never to be resold to private ownership. Park visitors can explore the park's green and grassy areas and observe its beautiful grotto waterfall feature, which was donated in memory of Park Board horticulturalist Geoff Harden."

"Parkers Woods forms an 89-acre contiguous green space with nearby Buttercup Valley Nature Preserve, both located within Cincinnati's Northside neighborhood near Hamilton Avenue and Haight Street. The park's beginnings date back to 1911, when its first 27.5 acres of land were sold to the City of Cincinnati by namesake Alexander Langlands Parker. Additional land was added to the park in 1953, bringing it to its present-day acreage."

"Kennedy Heights Park is a 12.4-acre urban park located within Cincinnati's Kennedy Heights neighborhood, originally purchased by the city for the establishment of a public park facility in 1930. The park is home to a lovely landscape of mature trees and rolling hills, with a boardwalk traversing a preserved wetlands and a beech grove protecting native flora and fauna. An historic 1937 picnic shelter, designed by Carl Freund, stands atop an overlook hill and features a hipped roof, exposed rafters, and original ornamental iron handles."

"Cincinnati’s native dish — an all-meat chili, thinner than a Tex-Mex version, with obvious notes of cinnamon and a hint of chocolate — can be confusing to outsiders. It’s typically served over spaghetti and topped with shredded cheddar for what’s called a three-way (or a four- or five-way, with the addition of onions and/or kidney beans). There are chili parlors across the city devoted to the dish, which traces its roots to Greek immigrants, including the ubiquitous Skyline."

"Required eating while in the Queen City is Cincinnati-style chili. You’ll find variations of the cinnamon-spiced stew on menus all across the southwestern Ohio region, but Camp Washington Chili remains a local favorite, consistently ranking among the city’s best. Since 1940, the friendly neighborhood chili parlor has been dishing its namesake recipe into bowls, or ladling it over hot dogs and plates of spaghetti for customers to enjoy."

"Family-owned for over 75 years, Camp Washington Chili is a Cincinnati favorite that was named one of the 20 Most Iconic Food Destinations Across America by Smithsonian Magazine. Cincinnati chili was invented by Greek immigrants and is very different than Texas-style chili, both in the spices and the presentation. A 'three-way' consists of chili served over spaghetti then topped with a generous mound of finely shredded cheddar cheese."

"For “All-American” kid-pleasing cuisine, you can’t beat Frisch’s. The Kid’s Menu is loaded with favorites like grilled cheese, chicken tenders and burgers – all served with a side of Frisch’s crispy, thick-cut fries. Crayons and coloring pages make the wait fun for kids and pleasant for parents!"

"The restaurant is a great place to order a hot and fresh burger, and kids love it for their kiddy meals. The place is accommodating enough when you enter. There’s a parking lot for your car and a drive-through if you just want to order take out."

"Manifest Gallery is Cincinnati‘s quintessential local art nonprofit. Founded by Cincinnati’s professors of students in 2004 and funded by the Ohio Arts Council and ArtsWave, the gallery is now one of the city’s preeminent arts organizations. Exhibits are often themed (recently, “Arboreal”: art about trees) and often foster interaction between artists and their mentors as well as the public."

"Manifest Gallery is one of the outstanding art venues in Cincinnati. It specialises in visual art, and showcases thought provoking artworks. This gallery established itself as a meeting point for creative, engaging students, professionals, and the public through accessible world-class exhibits, studio programmes, and publications."

"Manifest Gallery is a charitable nonprofit art gallery located on Woodburn Avenue that is operated by professors, students, and working artists. What makes this gallery truly unique is the fact that it’s not just a gallery. In fact, it includes a drawing center, a publishing house, and an artist residency."

"I'm a huge fan of street art, and it turns out that Cincinnati is a great city for murals. An organization called ArtWorks was tasked by Cincinnati's mayor about a decade ago to create a mural in each of Cincinnati's 52 neighborhoods – and they are well on their way to doing that and more. Even just around the downtown area, you can find all sorts of cool and colorful murals."
