New Price Hill Historic Sites Map
Every few months, we feature a new Treasure of Price Hill from our museum collection and archives, from our newsletter and oral histories, or simply from around Price Hill. If you have any ideas for a "Treasure" that needs to be featured or preserved, let us know at phhs@pricehill.org.

The map shown above is just a "snap shot" of the actual interactive map.
Some of the historic spots around Price Hill already included on the map are the former site of Rees Price's home and the Price Hill Incline, and the location of the home of General Ronsencrans, a Civil War officer from Cincinnati and a possible Underground Railroad stop that still stands today.
