Established in 1990, Cincinnati History Museum is one of the largest urban history museums in the United States. The museum displays materials and related aspects of the history of Cincinnati and the surrounding region. Its permanent exhibits include a recreation of the Cincinnati Public Landing of the late 1850s, and a 94-foot side-wheel steamboat. The museum also has a large home-front exhibit on World War II and an actual 1940s streetcar. It displays a model of the city of Cincinnati from 1900s to 1940s with working trains and inclines, as well as interactive computer stations. The museum offers special activities for children, including negotiating a canal boat through a 50-foot model of the Miami and Erie Canal, and imagining floating down the Ohio River on a child-sized flatboat. It also projects Cincinnati s role during the Civil War through historical sceneries, music and recordings of letters, and words from people. The museum is located in Cincinnati.
