2016 Walking Tour Explores Betts Longworth Historic District
West End – The Betts House is proud to announce our 2016 Betts Longworth
Historic District (BLHD) Walking Tours, offered each month from March through
October. This guided walking tour of the Betts Longworth Historic District
(BLHD) will explore the architecture and history of this unique neighborhood.
The tour will occur regularly during walking tour season (March through
October) taking place the fourth Saturday of each month at 1 pm.
SPECIAL: Join us for the first tour for 2016 on March 26, 2015 for half price
at only $5 and be one of the first to enjoy this tour in 2016!
Tucked away in the southeast corner of the West End, the BLHD features
streetscapes unlike any other in the city. Narrow Italianate homes are mixed
with nineteenth century farmhouses and early twentieth century gems. The Betts
Longworth Historic District, once farmland far removed from town, became the
home of notable manufacturing and retailing families. The stories of their
homes and business will be explored in this 60-90 minute tour, led by Betts
House volunteers.
The tour was developed for The Betts House by Architreks and the Architectural
Foundation of Cincinnati, Cincinnati's premier architectural walking tour.
Admission is $10 and includes admission to The Betts House. Tickets can be
purchased in advance on our web site, www.thebettshouse.org

or at the door (cash only). The tour departs from The Betts House, 416
Clark Street and takes place rain or shine. Reservations are not required,
