Geologic Timeline at Cincinnati Riverfront

Highlight • Monument

The geologic timeline is a really fascinating feature of the Ohio Riverfront in the city. As you walk along the boardwalk, you walk back in time and get a real sense for how the area has changed over millions of years. You ever get to see some fossilized remains in some places! It is a great educational walk for families and I highly recommend seeing it for yourself!

Cincinnati Flying Pig Statues

Highlight • Monument

Scattered across the city of Cincinnati you will find artfully decorated pig statues. These statues were first created in 2000 by local artists and schools in order to celebrate the history of the city as the pork capital of the US. At one time there had been over 400 different statues on display, but today only a handful still exist outside of private collections. One of the best examples can be found near Sawyer Point and is named "Lucius Quinctus Pigasus".
