History of Transportation in Cincinnati

The Cincinnati Museum Center brought to Lower School students a hands-on experience exploring the history of transportation in Cincinnati. Students simulated moving goods by mule-powered canal boat and used working models of the five inclines that moved Cincinnatians to neighborhoods on higher ground in the late 19th century. They learned about the era of streetcars, the reasons Cincinnati's subway system was never realized, and the factors that drove changes in transportation systems across the decades.
