Vision - Cincinnati Museum Center

Vision
Cincinnati Museum Center will be known for its commitment to understanding the richness
of our past, present and future by providing world-class learning experiences for children
and adults.
Mission
Cincinnati Museum Center inspires people of all ages to learn more about our world
through science; regional history; and educational, engaging and meaningful experiences.
Profile
Cincinnati Museum Center is a one-of-a-kind, multi-museum complex housed in Union Terminal,
a historic Art Deco train station and National Historic Landmark. Museum Center’s major
offerings at Union Terminal include the Cincinnati History Museum, the Cincinnati History
Library & Archives, the Duke Energy Children’s Museum, the Museum of Natural History & Science
and the Robert D. Lindner Family OMNIMAX® Theater. Museum Center is the largest cultural
institution in the city of Cincinnati, with more than 1.4 million visitors per year. Our permanent
and temporary exhibits are supported and complemented by a state-of-the-art collections and
research facility, the Geier Collections & Research Center, educational programs, teacher
professional development programs, day and overnight camps, public lectures and programs,
tours of historic sites and community-wide cultural events.
In addition, Museum Center has been working with our collaborative partner, the Ohio Chapter
of the Nature Conservancy, to protect the Richard and Lucile Durrell Edge of Appalachia Preserve
System for more than 50 years. The Preserve is the largest privately-owned protected natural area
in Ohio at 16,000 acres. It provides critical habitat for more than 100 rare plant and animal species.
The Eulett Center is Museum Center’s research and education facility at The Preserve. It has increased
staff research capabilities, greatly expanded opportunities for educational programming and has
enhanced The Preserve’s relationship with the Adams County community.
IMLS Medal
In 2009, Cincinnati Museum Center received the National Medal for Museum and Library
Service, the nation’s highest honor for museums and libraries. The award, given by
the Institute of Museum and Library Services, recognizes institutions for extraordinary civic,
educational, economic, environmental and social contributions to their communities.
DEAR FRIENDS,
As we look back over the past year we are energized by the activity and passion
for learning that simply cannot be contained within Union Terminal. Voices of
wonder resonate throughout her Grand Rotunda.
Repair and restoration work has been completed on one key section of the
building and we continue to evaluate the opportunities that may help us address
all the needs of this National Historic Landmark. As our home for the past 20 years,
we reflect on all the tradition, memories and adventure firmly attached to this
iconic Cincinnati jewel.
As you will see in these pages, we’ve traveled around the world, back into
the sands of time, into outer space and the eye of the storm, moving mountains
and chugging forward. We’ve inspired curiosity, learning, wonder and awe.
We’ve served teachers, professional researchers, community and business
leaders, students, parents, toddlers and grandparents. Each day we are
unlocking the great stories of our past, sparking scientific inquiry and
lifelong learning, honoring tradition and making memories.
Join us next year, as our adventure continues to the Italian
coast to discover the life and loss of the city of Pompeii,
in our newest exhibit opening March 2, 2012, A Day in Pompeii.
The Robert D. Lindner Family OMNIMAX® Theater will also
take us To The Arctic. New exhibits, new programs, new
discoveries and insights await you!
On behalf of our staff and Board of Trustees, we
wish you and your family happy holidays and hope
you will join us in continuing to create holiday traditions
and family memories here at Cincinnati Museum Center
and Union Terminal.
Sincerely,
Douglass W. McDonald

Cincinnati Union Terminal opened in 1933 as the city’s grand train station. Now home to Cincinnati Museum Center,
Union Terminal still brings people through its doors with the sheer beauty of the building.
By the 1990s, age, moisture penetration and outmoded construction techniques left the terminal in need of major repair and
refurbishment. As a steward of a National Historic Landmark, Museum Center sought to address interior and exterior issues.
The museum undertook a series of initiatives including a 2007 Comprehensive Renovation and Restoration Plan
to address these issues and to plan for the long-term preservation of the building. In 2011, the Ohio Society of the
American Institute of Architects awarded Cincinnati Museum Center, glaserworks, architect of record, and Hillier
Architecture, historic preservation architect, with the Excellence in Architectural Design for the Master Plan for the
Cincinnati Museum Center Renovation and Restoration Project.

This was one of the most extensive analyses ever conducted on a historic building in our region. This Master Plan document
is the result of their detailed findings. Major problems that could only be ascertained through extensive study were discovered,
including a plan for mitigating the conditions in a systematic manner that will enable the preservation of Union Terminal.
A section of the building was selected for Project 1 because it embodied all of the issues and challenges identified in the
planning process and contained historic spaces. Several components were addressed including the exterior envelope,
structural issues, building systems, valuable historic fabric and interior architecture.
One of the most exciting aspects was the opportunity to restore two significant historic spaces within the building;
the Cincinnati Dining Room and the Historic Dining Rooms, featuring the spectacular ceiling murals by Pierre Bourdelle,
internationally noted French impressionist.-

The biggest need addressed by Project 1 was to repair a portion of the structural steel beams, columns and lintels that
comprise the skeleton of the building. All corroded or damaged structural steel elements in the Project 1 area required
treatment or replacement. Steel lintels above the highest row of windows had to be replaced due to decades of moisture
damage. All of the parapet walls in the Project 1 area were dismantled and completely rebuilt with new protective flashing to
prevent future moisture penetration. Failing original aluminum windows were removed and replaced with superior custom
steel windows. The brick masonry on the exterior of the building was carefully removed, documenting the locations, decorative
patterns and period techniques utilized by the original craftsmen. This allowed the brickwork to be cleaned, repaired and
reconstructed. The renovation also included the installation of the 7,600 square foot green roof. The green roof absorbs
rainwater and provides insulation and helps lower urban air temperatures.
Project 1 was graciously funded by multiple avenues, including a portion of the 2004 levy approved by Hamilton County voters,
the State of Ohio through the Ohio Cultural Facilities Commission, the City of Cincinnati, Metropolitan Sewer District,
National Endowment for the Arts, National Parks Service through their Save America’s Treasures Grant, an in-kind
donation from Böhlke Veneer Company, in memory of Marc Böhlke and an anonymous donation.

With this work complete, Museum Center moves into the discussion of how best to proceed with the full restoration of
Union Terminal. One of the most important dimensions of a project of this magnitude and complexity, is to set a standard
of sustainability and responsible use of resources, leading and educating by example.
In September 2010, we hosted our Sustainability Workshop for Union Terminal. More than 50 international experts participated,
including Chris Luebkeman, Ph.D., director of global foresight and innovation at Arup, community leaders, design professionals,
elected officials, interested stakeholders and students from the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture,
Art and Planning. Students returned to the Niehoff Studio to develop plans, addressing the issues found in initial restoration.
Their designs and engineering reports can be viewed at cincymuseum.org/UnionTerminal/restore.
Museum Center continues to strive to find the optimal long term solution for restoration at Union Terminal.

America I Am
Spanning nearly 500 years of culture, America I AM: The African American Imprint puts forth the question “would America
have been America without her Negro people?” tracing the indelible imprint African Americans have made on America.
The exhibit, which closed in Cincinnati January 2, brought special guests such as Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornel West, and had
more than 200 rare historic objects outlining pivotal moments of courage, conviction and creativity that celebrate the imprint
of African Americans on the society in which we live today. America I AM, produced by broadcaster Tavis Smiley and Arts and
Exhibitions International, in partnership with Cincinnati Museum Center, continues to garner national attention during its four
year traveling tour.
Duke Energy Holiday Trains
In May 2011, it was announced that Duke Energy would gift their priceless and timeless holiday trains and supporting displays
to Museum Center, ensuring their holiday trains will be available for generations to come. This November, Museum Center was
delighted to open the Duke Energy Holiday Trains as part of an expanded holiday tradition at Union Terminal.
On display inside the Cincinnati History Museum, this is a wonderful partnership that gives these historic trains a permanent
home and a great place to see them for many holiday seasons.
On display since 1946, the trains are one of the largest portable models in the world. This gift continues to build on the long
standing community and business partnership that Cincinnati Museum Center and Duke Energy have built over many years.
Visitors will love the holiday tradition of trains and the magic of Union Terminal and we welcome this opportunity to combine
two timeless holiday traditions to share with you!

Cleopatra
A French underwater explorer, an Egyptian archaeologist, a Greek queen and her Roman lovers all intersected at Cincinnati
Museum Center to deliver an unforgettable experience for our community.
A world lost to the sea and sand for nearly 2,000 years surfaced in February 2011 when Cleopatra: The Search for the Last
Queen of Egypt arrived in Cincinnati, becoming our 5th most highly attended special exhibit. The 150 artifacts, weighing nearly
30 tons and standing 16 feet tall, provided a window into Cleopatra’s life and times. The exhibition, organized by
National Geographic and Arts and Exhibitions International, with cooperation from the Egyptian Supreme Council of
Antiquities and the European Institute for Underwater Archaeology (IEASM), is traveling to only five cities in the United States.
Modern day international experts and national personalities came to Cincinnati to share the details of Cleopatra’s life with us.
Franck Goddio wowed visitors with his stories of underwater discovery of Cleopatra’s lost cities. Dr. Zahi Hawass held the
audience with rapt attention sharing his journey, hot on the trail of Cleopatra’s tomb. Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff shared
insights on leadership, power and strategy based on her best-selling biography, Cleopatra: A Life.
“Beautiful and timeless.

Hubble
Opened in November of 2010, this film took you out of this world, literally. Hubble tells the story of
one of the most important scientific instruments since Galileo’s original telescope and documents the
last service mission to keep the Hubble Telescope functional for years to come. Viewers experienced
firsthand Hubble’s awe-inspiring imagery, from the heart of the Orion Nebula, our Milky Way Galaxy and
way beyond. It was a dazzling journey, showcasing the ingenuity, bravery and triumph of NASA to take one
of the most difficult and important missions in NASA’s history. Hubble offered an inspiring and unique look
into the Hubble Space Telescope’s legacy and highlights its profound impact on the way we view the
universe and ourselves.
This five-story dome theater can take you places you may never have thought possible, or even wanted to go. Since opening
on November 10, 1990, more than 7.6 million visitors have seen films in the Robert D. Lindner Family OMNIMAX® Theater.

Tornado Alley
Tornado Alley, opened in March of 2011, took us to the center of the United States, the severe weather capital of the world
and home to some of the most violent and destructive tornadoes on earth. Visitors discovered what it is like to be inside
some of Mother Nature’s most dramatic phenomena, as part of the VORTEX 2 project, the most ambitious effort ever made
to understand the origins, structure and evolution of tornadoes. We were thrilled to welcome stars of the film, Sean Casey,
director of the film and star of the Discovery Channel’s Storm Chasers series, Marcus Guiterrez, Brandon Ivey and the
Tornado Intercept Vehicle (TIV). Visitors lined up for hours to meet the team and climb inside the infamous TIV. That weekend,
we also met Sean’s biggest fan, Eli, a three-year-old boy with a huge love of tornadoes, storm chasing, the TIV and
Sean Casey. Eli won a ride in the TIV and got to climb inside with Sean. We named Eli the “Official Storm Chaser of
Cincinnati Museum Center” and he saw Tornado Alley over ten times! To see Eli’s ride-winning video visit cincymuseum.org/Eli.
In April, we were also excited to host the Doppler on Wheels (DOW) and scientist Karen Kosiba, both part of
the VORTEX2 project. Fans were able to meet Karen and DOW driver, Andrew Arnold, and climb inside the DOW.
Visitors looked at the science side with the DOW radars running and viewed all the technology that goes into
chasing tornadoes.

ECSITE: Early Childhood Science and Inquiry Training for Educators
One of our goals is to develop curious lifelong learners. The PNC Foundation’s
two–year Grow Up Great with Science grant helps us accomplish this goal for early
childhood students and their teachers. Our ECSITE program, Early Childhood
Science and Inquiry Training for Educators, is an innovative initiative to
support kindergarten readiness through early childhood science inquiry.
This initiative develops teachers who can provide high quality
scientific experiences for their students and provide ongoing
support and growth for these teachers as they engage
young minds in the amazing world of science.
“Once I was trained in different areas of science and
ways that I could implement the science curriculum
into my classroom, I realized that I was going to make a huge
impact in my children’s lives.”
-ECSITE teacher.
Additional support from the Social Innovation Fund (SIF)
leveraged the PNC Foundation’s Grow Up Great grant to
roughly double the scope of the ECSITE program. Last year,
ECSITE provided training and in-class materials for 43 early
childhood educators in Northern Kentucky. This year, 42
Hamilton County teachers joined that list, introducing the
fundamentals of science and scientific inquiry to more
than 1,200 pre-K students.

STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering and Math
Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, or STEM, is important to the economic growth and sustainability of our
workforce. The Museum of Natural History & Science supports STEM with daily hands-on activities and over a dozen
special programs a year, including STEM Night at the Museum for students, teachers and families, Nano Days, Explorers
University, Weather Weekend, A Day of STEM for attendees of the Northern Kentucky University Girls STEM Conference,
Women in Science Month and the LITE Lab. Cincinnati Museum Center also supports STEM teacher professional
development through STEM-on-a-Budget workshops and the ECSITE program.
LITE Lab: Learning, Innovation, Technology and Education Laboratory
An explosion of science has begun in our new LITE Lab in the Museum of Natural History & Science!
The LITE Lab, Learning, Innovation, Technology and Education, made its debut in June. The Lab is designed to
engage creative thinking and problem-solving skills. Kids get hands-on, inquiry-based experiences in science,
technology, engineering and math. The lab focuses on open-ended learning and visitors can conduct their own
science experiments and even test new prototype exhibits for the museum.
With a focus on sustainability and recyclability, the flooring was created from recycled tires, the lighting is
provided by highly efficient LED bulbs and the graphic panels contain 100% recycled materials. To help with the
deconstruction of the previous exhibit, All About You, Museum Center welcomed Building Value, a local nonprofit
reuse center. Over eight tons of material was saved from landfills. To learn more about our LITE Lab, visit
cincymuseum.org/science/LITE.
The LITE Lab was made possible by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.

Learning Through Play
Cincinnati Museum Center is committed to the education and development of children. As the premier location in Cincinnati
for learning through play, Museum Center hosted our third annual Learning Through Play Conference in March. Focusing on
children in kindergarten and younger, this unique event explores how you can use play as both a parent and professional to
get the most from your interactions with children, with knowledgeable presenters such as Happen, Inc., Cincinnati Children’s
Hospital Medical Center and Cincinnati Museum Center. Conference attendance increased by 42% over 2009.
Difference Makers
Each year Cincinnati Museum Center honors individuals and organizations that work to better the lives of children.
Our third annual Difference Maker Awards Dinner took place in October 2010 and celebrated all nominees, while honoring
five with Difference Maker Awards. This year’s honorees were: Women’s Alliance, Inc., dedicated to working for the development
of youth educationally, culturally and socially; Emma and Amy Bushman, who created and continue to run the local charity,
Bake Me Home; Valerie Krugh, Ph.D., her passion is to provide students and teachers in inner city Cincinnati public elementary
schools with practical financial literacy skills; Robin Ewing, co-founder of the Cincinnati BEARS; Paul Naberhaus, a retired
mechanical engineer and a member of the Catholic Inner-city Schools Education Fund CISE Advisory Board. To meet our 2010
and 2011 Difference Makers, visit cincymuseum.org/events/difference.
Music in the Museum
At the beginning of this year’s concert series, we were able to announce that through a generous gift by their family, Music in
the Museum will be known as “Music in the Museum: The Winifred and Emil Barrows Concert Series.”
The lush sounds from our 1929-era E.M. Skinner organ surround you in our Grand Rotunda. There are no speakers, but
instead four rooms filled with 75 sets of pipes and organ components that are otherwise hidden in rooms along the perimeter
of the Rotunda and above the entrance to the Cincinnati History Museum. While our first organ concert at Museum Center was
in 2002, the work began long before that. The first organ donated to Museum Center was from a church in 1987 and the work
began at that time to restore the instrument. One year later, the antiphonal division of the organ was donated, completing the
organ and starting the mission to prepare for future concerts at Union Terminal. Our organ curator, Harley Piltingsrud,
committed countless hours restoring the organ, fine tuning acoustics and using his expertise to make the sound of our E.M.
Skinner organ among the best in the world. With his work completed, Music in the Museum concerts continue to bring top
organists from around the globe to play for audiences in the Rotunda, an experience unlike any other. In advance of our
March 2011 concert, there was a dedication of the organ and recognition of Ann Taylor Deupree and her family for major
funding of the project. For a full list of concerts, visit cincymuseum.org/programs/concerts.

The Chinese Traditional Calligraphy and Painting Art Exhibition
From beautiful flowers to whimsical creatures, our Ruthven Gallery welcomed a traditional Chinese calligraphy
and painting exhibition in May. The opening of the exhibition was celebrated with a special reception featuring a live
calligraphy demonstration from a delegation of artists from Beijing, China. The exhibit represented a partnership between
the Beijing Municipal Institute of Culture and History, the Beijing People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries,
the Chinese-American Association of Cincinnati and Cincinnati Museum Center.
West End Kids in Kenya
Since last fall, we have been working with the National Museums of Kenya at Lamu on a project called In Their Own
Voices designed to introduce middle-school aged children to the traditional arts of storytelling, poetry and oral histories.
The collaboration involved three local schools—St. Joseph Elementary, Hays-Porter Elementary and the School for Creative
and Performing Arts—and two preparatory schools in Kenya.
By introducing the children to each other, and to these cultural traditions, the hope is that they will tap into their creativity,
learn to express themselves, share with each other and develop a broader sense of the world around them. Digital technology
helped span the more than 7,000 miles that separated the students in Cincinnati and Lamu, Kenya. Students were provided
with the technical support they need to explore moviemaking, digital recording and international video conferencing.
They also participated in a collaborative art project that captured the essence of In Their Own Voices that was unveiled at the
program conclusion in June, a collaborative mural of 140 5x7 panels created by each student.
In Their Own Voices was funded through a $150,000 grant from Museums and Community Collaborations Abroad (MCCA), an
American Association of Museums grant program. This program is designed to foster museum based international exchanges
in which members of the museums’ communities play a leading role in shaping their own collaborative experience. Funding
for MCCA is provided through a partnership with the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
Business Partners Weekend
Corporate Partners enjoy Free Admission! On September 25-27, 2010, Business Partners enjoyed free admission for all

Longworth Furniture
Our history curators were very pleased to receive the Cincinnati-made furniture of Nicholas and Alice Longworth.
The Longworth collection is significant for its Queen City connection to the Theodore Roosevelt family.
Nicholas Longworth, the son of a prominent Cincinnati family, was born in 1869. He received his law degree from
Cincinnati Law School in 1894. He practiced law in Cincinnati for several years and was elected to the Ohio House of
Representatives in 1899 and 1900, the State Senate from 1901 to 1903 and the United States House of Representatives from the Ohio First District in 1903. Following a brief courtship, he married Alice Roosevelt, the eldest daughter of
President Theodore Roosevelt, in 1906. Longworth served as House Majority Leader from 1923 to 1925 and as Speaker
of the United States House of Representatives from 1925 until his death in 1931.
The Longworth donation consists of fifteen pieces of Arts and Crafts-style furniture and other decorative pieces: an
ornately carved William Fry sideboard, two walnut armoires, two washstands with inlaid ceramic tile, two double beds,
a dresser and mirror, two chests of drawers, a carved table, two side chairs, a small bench or foot stool and a framed
mirror. The furniture, dating from the 1880s, is believed to have been used in the Longworth’s home, Rookwood, off of
Grandin Road in Cincinnati. To learn more about our collections, visit cincymuseum.org/research.
We are very grateful to Ms. Joanna Sturm, granddaughter of Alice Roosevelt Longworth and great granddaughter of
President Theodore Roosevelt, for her generous gift of the Longworth furniture.

Archaeology Field School
Ruthven Exhibits
Once again we were digging in the dirt at our fourth annual Archaeology Field School. The Hahn Site is a
Late Prehistoric village site in the lower portion of the Little Miami River Valley in Anderson Township.
Much of the four-week long field school was devoted to completing the exposure of a Middle Fort Ancient
14th century wall
trench
house
Chineese Caligraphy
- use
this
artpattern along the northern edge of the village plaza. More than five dozen
post molds were excavated within four separate wall trenches that defined the footprint of a timber-framed
thatch and daub house. This house is only the third completely exposed wall trench house in all of
Steam Boatssouthwest Ohio. Additional work included the excavation of a number of later Madisonville-age pit
features near or impacting the Middle Fort Ancient structure. These pit features contained volumes of
faunal and floral remains which will provide invaluable information on the Late Prehistoric diet and subsistence.
etc...
To learn more about our field school, visit cincymuseum.org/programs/hahn.
Research
Our scientific research took another key step this year with the acceptance of our Chinese/Taiwan
Bulbul work into Systematic Biology. This study looked at ways to use morphology and genetics
together to delimit species in a group of closely related birds found in East Asia, Chinese and Taiwan
Bubuls. Our researchers are now revisiting this data and doing new analysis using next-generation
DNA sequencing technology. The results are very promising and efforts here will give us much more
data and align our study with a select group of studies using this technology in the field of speciation
and phylogeography.
We also continue to look at other species in East Asia and have made great progress generating genetic
data for at least five additional species found here. This work would not be possible without generous
donor support for both lab work and trips to Japan and Mainland China.
Additional research is being conducted in our lab by graduate student Elizabeth Fet from Marshall
University with her study of Ohio River fish population genetics. Fet’s study examines how anthropogenic
change on the river, in the form of locks, can potentially influence fish populations.
This year, 15 undergraduate students, high school faculty and partners from five area institutions have
participated in research and research training in our Molecular Ecology and Systematics Laboratory.
Student lab technicians have helped advance a collaborative project with David Oehler from the
Cincinnati Zoo and focused on the population genetics of Rockhopper Penguin colonies around the
tip of South America. Additional projects include working with Monica Stoops of the Zoo on the
systematics of mudpuppies (Necturus); and a developing project with John Ferner of Thomas More
College, Paul Krusling of Boone County Public Schools and Jeff Davis of Northwest High School on
species delimitation in Ravine Salamanders.

Just 75 miles east of Cincinnati is The Richard and Lucile Durrell
Edge of Appalachia Preserve System, a 16,000-acre nature preserve
and one of the largest privately owned preserves east of the Mississippi.
The Preserve is one of the most biodiverse natural areas in the
region. Four sites at The Preserve have been recognized as National Natural
Landmarks, a testimony to their national significance and ecological
importance. This summer The Preserve was very fortunate to host a wealth
of experts in the scientific community.
Charlie Staines, Ph.D., a leaf beetle expert and research associate in the
Entomology Department at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum
of Natural History, inventoried beetles at The Preserve, collecting 70
species of beetles in 21 families, bringing the total number of
families found to 42.
Teaching workshops were, a legend in the field of Malacology,
Jack Burch, Ph.D., a professor emeritus at the University of Michigan
and one of the top fish authorities in the U.S., and Tom Simon, Ph.D.,
from Indiana University. Dr. Burch lead this first-ever look at the
freshwater species. Dr. Simon taught about fish identification
and collected the first voucher and genetic specimens of fish.

The Art of Caring: A Look at Life Through Photography
The Art of Caring: A Look at Life Through Photography, a nationally traveling exhibition curated by Cincinnati’s own
Cynthia Goodman, Ph.D., opened July 2010. This moving experience was comprised of more than 200 works
exploring the moments that shape our being, from intimate memories to historic tragedies. Renowned photographer
Annie Leibovitz set the tone with a preface made up of images hand-picked from her archive to illustrate the
exhibition’s seven thematic components: Children and Family, Love, Wellness, Disaster, Caregiving
and Healing, Aging and Remembering. At its heart, the exhibit exemplified what it means to be human.
Whether it is love, grief, happiness, elation, confusion or fear, our emotional response to
experiences transcends language and culture.
Inspired by Anne
Inspired by Anne originally appeared in 2010 inside Landor’s lobby and windows as part of Cincinnati’s first
ever Fashion Week, showcasing the inspirational work of Anne Wainscott for Shillito’s Department Store.
On display at Cincinnati Museum Center in 2011 were some of Ms. Wainscott’s original sketches, artwork and
hand-made garments with a replica of her studio. Landor employees also created modern day garments as
reinterpretations of popular P&G brands including: Tide, Old Spice, Venus and brandSAVER. Items from our
collections were added to the exhibition including photos of Anne Fogarty Fashions in Mabley & Carew store
window, advertising card for Foster’s Hook Gloves sold at H & S Pogue Co, Bodie DeBow woman’s hat and more,
further detailing the history of fashion and commerce in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati Museum Center’s Youth Program serves approximately 150, 13 to 18 year-old students, dedicated
to exploring career and college opportunities through museum experiences. Youth Program participants interact with visitors
of all ages to interpret the exhibits, facilitate demonstrations and make the museum an enjoyable interactive experience.
One of the main goals of the Youth Program is to encourage participants to seek admittance to an institution of higher
education. Within the program they practice résumé writing and coordinate college visits. Youth have the opportunity to
attend special seminars and field experiences to explore careers, develop job skills, build communication skills and
increase community awareness.
Since 1998, 818 students have matriculated the program; 100% of participants graduated from high school; 99% of our
students have enrolled in a 4-year college and the remaining 1% have enrolled in a technical school or have joined the
military; 80% have received some form of scholarship, several with full rides and eight National Merit Scholars and three
Valedictorians; they have dedicated approximately 150,000 volunteer hours to Museum Center.
This year Chase Bank awarded a generous $70,000 grant through the JP Morgan Chase Foundation to the Youth Program.
The grant supported a year’s worth of tuition-free activities that guided the participants toward high school graduation and
college enrollment. Eleven youth graduated from the program in June, and all of them won scholarships to college.
Thanks to Chase Bank for this investment in our Youth Program.
“The youth program has been one of the most influential activities that I have participated in -- if not the most.”
– Sharon McMullen
“I would like to thank you guys for accepting me into the youth program and giving me that once-in-a-lifetime
experience that I will never forget. You guys were a part of me becoming the mature person that I am
today. I remember the times when I wouldn’t be in the right place or when I would forget to tuck
my shirt in and you guys were always willing to work with me and not against me. I’ve learned
a lot from the museum and I will be able to carry this with me wherever
I go and I couldn’t thank you guys enough”.
– Courtney Spears

Last year, our more than 750 volunteers dedicated 112,320 hours of service, equivalent to 54 full-time
positions, with an estimated dollar value of $2,400,906. Thank you to all our volunteers and the
hard work you continue to contribute every year!
25 Years
Harley Piltingsrud
For more than 25 years, our docents have
enjoyed sharing their passion for history
through tours of unique sites to inspire
people to learn and appreciate the region’s
history. As an outreach association of the
Cincinnati History Museum, the all-volunteer
Cincinnati Heritage Programs has unlocked
doors to privately owned places generally
not open to the public. All topics are
thoroughly researched for accuracy and
no one enjoyed that research more than
Hazeleen Brewster, one of the original
docents for the Heritage Programs. It was
the friendships she created working with
the Heritage Programs that she fondly
looks back on. “No matter what area
you are working in, when you become
a volunteer you feel really appreciated
and you become really committed to
the institution,” says Hazeleen. Starting
in the mid ‘80s as a volunteer, Hazeleen
is a prime example of what the
volunteers give to the institution.
An anonymous donor contributed
$50,000 to Museum Center in her name.
