While some are more well-known than others, Cincinnati has many traditions and beloved places and spaces, and is home to several historical markers.  AARP Cincinnati has teamed up with Local 12 and local historian Dan Hurley to uncover some of the most interesting and thought-provoking gems of the area. 

Join us as Hurley travels old familiar roads and reveals some of Cincinnati’s greatest historic gems in new ways from Findlay Market, Ohio's longest continuously run public market, to the AARP sponsored Fitness Park at Jacob Hoffner Park.
