Letter from the President and CEOThe past year has been marked by pivotal milestones in Cincinnati Museum Center’s past and Union Terminal’s future. It’s been a time to reflect on all the institution has accomplished and the opportunities that lay before us.

2014 was the year of Union Terminal. The work of the Cultural Facilities Task Force, a group of 21 civic and business leaders, and passionate advocacy from volunteers across the region helped Union Terminal to victory at the polls, earning 62% of the vote.

After years of planning and working to secure the future of Union Terminal, Douglass McDonald announced his retirement in December 2014. Over a 16-year career as President and CEO, Doug had the honor of hosting sitting and soon-to-be U.S. Presidents, as well as presidential hopefuls; accepting a moon rock on behalf of NASA from Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon; and receiving the Institute of Museum and Library Services National Medal and accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums.

As Doug retired, I was invited by our Board of Trustees to serve in the interim role of President at the 2014-2015 Annual Meeting. In April 2015, it was truly my honor to accept the position of President and CEO of Cincinnati Museum Center and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.

In September 2015, GBBN Architects, Turner Construction Company and Ellington Management Services were selected to lead the Union Terminal restoration project. We have worked with Hamilton County to finalize the development agreement that will guarantee our home for future generations. Now the true work begins, to give the community a facility that can provide state-of-the-art learning for every stage of life.

As we close the 2015 calendar year, we do so while celebrating our 25th anniversary inside Union Terminal. What began as an experiment among dedicated Cincinnati citizens has now become a multi-award winning institution, a regional leader in early childhood education and training, an adviser and stakeholder in several OMNIMAX® films and the backdrop of family photos and memories that span generations.

Twenty-five years and almost 20 million visitors later, Cincinnati Museum Center is a part of our regional identity. Thank you for your continued support and for joining us on our journey.

The best is yet to come.

Elizabeth W. Pierce President and CEO

Union Terminal Story Told Through Local Family

Renovations UnderwayPreserving Our Largest Artifactfor Generations to Come

“Union Terminal has meant

so much to five generations

of my family, but everyone

has a story.”

- Beverly Levine

How can you put into words the impact of a city landmark like Union Terminal? If you’re Beverly Levine of Kenwood, you speak from the heart. “At this train station, I sent my husband off to war,and thankfully watched him come home,” she says, displaying a 1940s snapshot. “Union Terminal has meant so much to five generations of my family, but everyone has a story.” Levine’s story is one of millions of Union Terminal memories for residents of our regionand those who simply traveled through its impressive Rotunda. It was showcased in a television advertisement urging citizens to vote “Yes on 8” to preserve Union Terminal.

Beverly Levine’s story and the heartfelt advertisement helped shine the spotlight on Union Terminal, a building that began its life as a train station once described as a “Temple to Transportation.” At its peak in 1944, more than 34,000 people per day passed through its doors. The building is now home to Cincinnati Museum Center, while still an active train station serving Amtrak. In the more than 80 years since it opened, Cincinnati citizens across multiple generations have made memories in Union Terminal.

Hamilton County voters turned out to show their enthusiastic support for our National Historic Landmark with an astounding 62% vote to pass Issue 8 and secure the future of Union Terminal for generations to come.

When the nominations for the 51st Annual Ohio Valley Regional Emmy Awards were announced on June 4, this poignant Union Terminal spot was nominated in the category of Community/Public Service Announcements. Union Terminal partnered with two local businesses, Zone Communications Group and Prime Media, to produce the commercial.

Thank you to the voters of Hamilton County! The project is currently in the planning stages with construction set to begin in the late second quarter of 2016. It will include an exterior restoration, renovation of the interior architecture and structure, as well as restoration of the historic fountain and grounds. The $212 million full structural renovation of Union Terminal will take approximately two years to complete.

GBBN Architects, Turner Construction Company and Ellington Management Services have been selected to lead the much-anticipated restoration and renovation of historic Union Terminal.

There were lots of ways to put your body to the test, like stepping onto the mound to throw out a pitch or gripping the oars to row against an opponent. Other interactive features included a regulation balance beam, a virtual volleyball game and a skeleton wall with the “inside story” on how the human body’s systems move. While challenging the mind and body, visitors also discovered how incredible feats of athleticism are just science at work.

Thank You to our Science of Sports sponsors

Summer of Sports in the Queen CitySports-lovers Ran to Queen City Baseball and Science of Sports Exhibits

When sports-lovers converged on the Queen City for the 2015 Major League Baseball All-Star game, they landed in a city rich in baseball history. Home to the first professional baseball team, founded in 1869, Cincinnati changed professional sports in America. At Cincinnati Museum Center, visitors could unlock their inner athletes and learn more about the history and science behind the sports we love.

Queen City Baseball: Diamonds and Stars, the exhibition, opened March 28, 2015. Showcasing treasures from our history collections and archives, it explored Cincinnati’s role in baseball history, both professional and amateur. The exhibit featured the many playing fields and players who have left their mark on this city, from the Red Stockings to the Big Red Machine and beyond.

On display were 19th-century player’s contracts and payment records, autographed baseballs, bricks from Redland/Crosley Field and early 20th-century baseball cards. Archival newsreel footage invited visitors to relive the 1919 World Series, with its infamous “Black Sox Scandal.” A rain-delay broadcast of the Reds’ long-time play-by-play announcer, Waite Hoyt, also helped to bring the exhibit to life.

From history to science, sports can provide insight into almost any subject. Science of Sports let visitors really get in the game this summer. In the interactive exhibition, visitors could blaze down the short track to race a friend, Olympian, cheetah or dinosaur.

“Cincinnati is a world-class

sports town with some of the

most loyal and passionate fans

in the world. But let’s not just

cheer on our hometown teams,

let’s get in the game.”

- Elizabeth Pierce, President and CEO, Cincinnati Museum Center

We’ll Take You ThereJerusalem and Humpback WhalesDraw Enthusiastic Crowds to Explore the World

“Jerusalem is both a visually

and emotionally captivating

film that opens the door for

building understanding, sharing

common heritage and much

needed dialogue amongst

neighbors both near and far.”

- Shakila Ahmad, Board President, Islamic Center of Greater Cincinnati

“Jerusalem was more than

amazing and a lesson that

I’m glad I had the chance to

experience. Thank you for

bringing such wonderful

work to Cincinnati.”

- Lynn Watts, Spiritual Growth Site Leader, Crossroads Church

Take a seat in the Robert D. Lindner Family OMNIMAX® Theater and you are on your way to an amazing international adventure. This year, you could soar high above the ancient city of Jerusalem, exploring iconic sites treasured by billions, or swim alongside massive humpback whales on a journey beneath the waves and around the globe.

Granted special permission in the region’s strict no-fly zone, the filmmakers of Jerusalem captured the first-ever OMNIMAX® format aerial footage of the Old City and other sites throughout the Holy Land. When the film opened on October 10, viewers learned what it’s like to live there through the eyes of three young residents—one Jewish, one Christian and one Muslim—and traveled to the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Dome of the Rock, the Jordan River, the Sea of Galilee and the mountain fortress of Masada.

Humpback Whales opened as part of the film’s worldwide premiere on February 13. Narrated by Ewan McGregor, it featured scientists seeking answers to fascinating questions like why humpback whales sing, where they travel and how they care for their young. Found in every ocean on earth, humpback whales migrate more than 6,000 miles every year, from the icy waters where they feed to the tropical waters where they breed. Audiences followed these magnificent creatures on their journey from the coasts of Alaska and Hawaii to the remote islands of Tonga.

Other films featured this year were the new film D-Day: Normandy 1944, and old favorites, Rocky Mountain Express and Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs. Attendance was the highest since 2010 as 239,000 viewers came to travel the world at Cincinnati Museum Center.

Treasures of Our Military PastHonoring 200 Years of Cincinnati’s Service

“I’m honored to be a part of

an exhibit that reflects the

incredible depth of our region’s

military history and shares the

stories of men and women,

like the ones I looked up to

as a child.”

- Jeffrey P. Hinebaugh, Partner, Dinsmore & Shohl, and Chair, Treasures Committee

In May 2015, visitors learned about Cincinnati’s rich military history in Treasures of Our Military Past. In its fourth year, the popular Treasures series continues to offer the public a glimpse inside our vast collections. Through uniforms, weaponry, medical instruments, supplies, photographs and documents, Treasures of Our Military Past provided insight into the depth of our region’s contributions to military action from the Revolutionary War to the War in Afghanistan.

Cincinnati has been a home to veterans of military conflicts dating back to the founding of our nation, when Revolutionary War veterans were given land grants in this area for their service. Others settled in the area after serving at nearby Fort Washington. More than 100 years later, soldiers walked beneath a mosaic tile rendering of Fort Washington as they passed through the USO lounge at Union Terminal. One out of five American soldiers who served in World War II passed through the Rotunda at Union Terminal, making it the ideal location for an exhibit that honors our veterans.

To reflect this abundant history,Treasures of Our Military Past included artifacts from military conflicts spanning 220 years. A hand-drawn plan of Fort Washington from 1793 and a directive from General “Mad” Anthony Wayne from 1794 helped tell the story of battles fought in the Cincinnati region, America’s early frontier, at the end of the 18th century.

Another item of local interest was the flag of the 10th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, the “Irish Regiment,” with the names of battles the regiment fought in during the Civil War. The flag has survived the bullets of Confederate soldiers and the ravages of time. One of those names stitched into the green silk is Chickamauga, the battle where General William H. Lytle, whose uniform and personal items were also displayed, lost his life. The exhibit

also featured a copy of the Amnesty Proclamation in Abraham Lincoln’s own handwriting.

Artifacts recognizing Cincinnati’s contributions to two world wars, including a poster announcing a War Exposition at Music Hall in 1918 and the World War II army nurse’s uniform of Bobbie Sterne, former mayor of Cincinnati, were fascinating glimpses as a region geared up for the war effort. Civil defense survival kits and radiation detectors showed a city on edge as the threat of nuclear war was a constant concern for civilians and military personnel alike.

Visitors were encouraged to recognize those men and women who served in the military and to honor their sacrifice by submitting names of veterans to the Veterans Tribute Wall. Individuals submitted over 1,000 names that were listed on the Tribute Wall and on ourwebsite. Proceeds from the Wall were dedicated to an endowment for the preservation and conservation of Museum Center’s military archives.

The centerpiece of the exhibit was the Holt Broadside, a rare

early printing of the Declaration of Independence, on public display

for the first time and part of Cincinnati Museum Center’s collections since

the 1870s. In a world without telegraph, radio or other instant means of

communication, these large-format, printed broadsides, similar to posters,

were circulated by express riders to the newly independent states.

Five hundred broadsides were printed by John Holt in July 1776.

Only four are known to exist today, including the one brought to

Cincinnati in 1810 by settler Richard Fosdick.

Complementing the Treasures exhibit, the OMNIMAX® Theater featured the film D-Day: Normandy 1944. Narrated by Tom Brokaw, the film detailed how and why the landing of Allied forces at Normandy, France turned the tide of WWII over the summer of 1944.

Cincinnati Museum Center also celebrated and honored military men and women during our Salute to Armed Forces Weekend, May 16 and 17. Highlights from the weekend included a flyover from the Tri-State Warbirds, over 20 veterans organizations and an honor walk around the Rotunda recognizing these heroes.

Special Exhibit: Mummies of the WorldReal Mummies and Real Science Unite Cincinnati Institutions

“Inside every mummy is

a story waiting to be told.”

- Marcus Corwin, President, American Exhibitions, Inc.

The nationally recognized Mummies of the World exhibition made its Greater Cincinnati debut in November 2014, and, due to popular demand, the exhibit was extended to allow more visitors to have the chance to uncover its treasures. With more than 150 specimens and objects, it is the largest exhibition of real mummies and related artifacts ever assembled, showcasing a collection of naturally and intentionally preserved mummies. Described as “magical and mythical,” the exhibit presented a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience real mummies, real science and real people. Visitors learned how natural conditions could cause the mummification of people, animals and plants and discovered how scientists study mummies to find out about the lives of people in past cultures and civilizations.

To help scientists better understand the untold story behind a child mummy on display in the exhibit, Cincinnati Museum Center teamed up with radiologist Andrew Trout, M.D., from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, and Mummies of the World exhibits director of science and education, Heather Gill-Frerking, Ph.D. Using X-rays and computer tomography (CT) scans, they discovered bones and organs that were “beautifully preserved” by Peru’s hot, dry climate. They estimate the mummified remains are those of a three-year-old girl who lived more than 500 years ago and probably suffered from seasonal food shortages.

This approach using imaging technology is much less disruptive than previous methods. As late as the 1970s, examining a mummy meant destroying it by unwrapping the body and performing an autopsy.

Also included in the fascinating collection were the Vac mummies, a mummified family from Hungary believed to have died from tuberculosis; the Baron Von Holz, a German nobleman found tucked away in the family crypt of a 14th century castle still wearing his best leather boots; and MUMAB, also known as the Maryland Mummy, a modern-day mummy created by scientists in 1994 using the same methods as ancient Egyptians.

“Most people think mummies come from Egypt and are wrapped, but mummies come from all over the world,” says Marcus Corwin, president of American Exhibitions, Inc. “The exhibition is changing centuries-old perceptions about what the general public thinks about mummies and providing insight into the lives and cultures of these ancient people.”

Milestones in Natural HistoryLocal Partnerships Preserve Knowledge for Future Generations

“Ipuh represents a critically

important individual specimen

in the history of rhinoceros

conservation and, in particular,

the history of conservation and

science in Cincinnati.”

- Herman Mays, Ph.D., Professor of Biology at Marshall University and former Curator of Zoology at Cincinnati Museum Center

What do Mark Catesby, an 18th-century naturalist, and Ipuh, a Sumatran rhinoceros, have in common? They both left a scientific legacy that Cincinnati Museum Center continues to preserve.

The Curious Mister Catesby: A “Truly Ingenious” Naturalist Explores New Worlds opened in April 2015 to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Mark Catesby’s first visit to the Americas. His trip resulted in the first fully illustrated natural history of North America. Renowned for his innovative techniques and attention to detail, Catesby was the first to paint birds and other animals in life position with naturally coexisting plants. His approach inspired local artists John James Audubon and John Ruthven, whose works are among our treasures.

Like Catesby, Ipuh the rhinoceros continues to aid scientific study even after his death. Ipuh was among the oldest Sumatran rhinos living in captivity and a beloved part of the collection at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. He sired three offspring over 22 years, was a universal ambassador for his species and served as a symbol of conservation. When he died in February 2013, the world lost a critically important individual specimen in the history of rhino conservation and science. Now on display and part of our permanent collection, Ipuh will continue to educate and delight visitors at Cincinnati Museum Center as they learn more about this unique and imperiled species and the work being done here in Cincinnati to save them.

Ipuh’s remains were preserved for display with help from the veterinary team at the Cincinnati Zoo, taxidermist David Noem and Cincinnati Museum Center staff taxidermist David Might. Thanks to a collaboration with the Cincinnati Zoo, Marshall University and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Cincinnati Museum Center is conducting a full genome sequence that will provide a wealth of information about the biology, conservation and evolutionary history of this endangered species.

With the generous support of John B. Goering and Robert D. Lindner, Jr., Ipuh has been preserved so that future generations may continue to learn about this critically endangered species.

The Curious Mister Catesby exhibit was created in collaboration with the Lloyd Library and Museum, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Catesby Commemorative Trust and University of Georgia Press.

A Landmark Case for ConservationCincinnati Extinction Story Helps Save Species on the BrinkMartha: A Story of Extinction opened at Cincinnati Museum Center in December. Using preserved passenger pigeon specimens, hunting instruments, images and other animal specimens, the exhibit offered insight into the extinction of a species that occurred in Cincinnati and how their extinction might not be in vain.

Despite population estimates of nearly five billion in 1800, passenger pigeons had been reduced to the tens of thousands by the 1880s as a result of habitat loss and over-hunting. Over-hunting, compounded by habitat destruction as forests were cleared for farmland, pushed passenger pigeons to the brink of extinction with only three living by 1907, all at the Cincinnati Zoo.

How those three came to the Cincinnati Zoo is somewhat of a mystery, but what is clear is that by 1910, only one survived. Martha, the last living passenger pigeon, lived the final years of her life as a local and national celebrity. On September 1, 1914, Martha died of old age, and with her died the passenger pigeon species. Following her death, she was frozen in a 300-pound block of ice and sent by express train to the Smithsonian Institution. Martha remains at the Smithsonian today, where she has been studied, preserved and exhibited for posterity.

Our exhibit also shared current success stories of species that have recovered as a result of better understanding of the causes of population decline, followed by targeted regulation. Through increased awareness, passionate advocacy and subtle lifestyle changes, many more species can be spared the fate of the passenger pigeon.

In 2015, Eleanor Batista-Malat, recipient of the Golden Key Award, summarized her experience at the June 11 Awards and Recognition Banquet:

“Youth Programs has made me

a better version of me.”

She spent three years in the Cincinnati History Museum greeting visitors, interpreting exhibits and mentoring others. Next year, she is heading to Earlham College to study biology and social justice.

Learning the Art and Science of PlayPrograms Help Children Get the Most Out of Playtime

“ECSITE materials and activities

sparked wonderful conversations,

experiments and excitement

in the classroom. The teachers

were also able to build their

lesson plans around the

ECSITE concepts, which

enhanced the students’ analysis

and higher-order thinking skills.”

- Jen Maslyn, Teacher Development Coach, Cincinnati Union Bethel Head Start Program

Sometimes a museum’s treasures are programs rather than objects. At the Duke Energy Children’s Museum, two nationally recognized initiatives are educating adults to help children learn more about our world. Learning through play is a simple, yet profound, principle about how children learn best.

In 2014-2015, the award-winning Early Childhood Science Inquiry Teacher Education (ECSITE) program provided area Head Start teachers with workshops, mentoring and supplies to implement high-quality science and math experiences in their preschool classrooms. Teachers learned to blend play with a scientific approach, encouraging children to question, predict, plan and document the world around them. Because parent engagement is crucial to preschoolers’ success, ECSITE also reaches out to children’s families. About 870 individuals benefited from high-quality take-home science activities and the chance to explore our museums during free family night events.

Another signature program is our Learning Through Play conference. Held on March 7, 2015, this annual event leads the way in engaging families, educators and children in high-quality early childhood programming. Attendees could choose from 38 sessions covering a broad range of topics including literacy development, exploration centers and tips for managing behavior. While many of the workshops are designed just for adults, Learning Through Play is unique because it offers family interactive sessions where the parent and child learn together. Families could attend sessions on nutrition, problem-solving or music, among many others. Thanks to our generous sponsors, nearly one-third of the 415 registrants received scholarships to attend the conference.

Hidden Treasures at the EdgeAdvanced Naturalist Workshops Lead to New Discoveries

Exciting scientific research is happening in Adams County, Ohio, at The Richard & Lucile Durrell Edge of Appalachia Preserve! Sparked by the leading experts who teach our Advanced Naturalist Workshops, participants are uncovering natural treasures that demonstrate the Edge’s unique biodiversity.

In the Singing Insects workshop, a possible new Amblycorypha species of Virtuoso Katydid was discovered. Finding a species new to science in groups like katydids and grasshoppers is rare, but our specimen has a different leg color and a different song from all known species. We are now eagerly awaiting DNA results.

During Bobcats and the Art of Remote Monitoring, we secured the first-ever video evidence of bobcats at the Edge. Additionally, Spider attendees confirmed the presence of the Carolina Wolf Spider, thought to have been lost from Ohio for decades. Another discovery came in the wake of the Snake workshop, when a contractor found two state-endangered Timber Rattlesnakes for the first time ever at the Edge.

Advanced Naturalist Workshops provide one-of-a-kind hands-on science experiences. They also spur important scientific discoveries that could not happen without the generous support of our donors and the efforts of workshop participants.

“It’s amazing what can be

discovered and shared in one

weekend with one scientist,

three deeply curious museum

staff and ten citizens “

Celebrating VolunteersVolunteers Give Back through Cincinnati Museum Center

“I enjoy learning more about the city of Cincinnati,

and in the process, I have coincidentally learned

more about my great grandfather. I discovered he

had a blacksmith shop under what is now the Paul

Brown Stadium.”

- John Luebering, Manuscript Archives volunteer

Volunteers are the treasures that make our impact on the community possible. More than 750 adult volunteers and interns serve by cleaning and cataloging dinosaur bones, assisting with collections and research, greeting visitors throughout the building and serving on numerous committees and boards.

One very special group of volunteers has donated thousands of hours to help preserve our region’s rich history, and

we celebrate them in 2015. Since the mid-1990s, this dedicated group has assisted the archivist in processing collections, translating documents or providing helpful office assistance for the Manuscripts Department.

Total Adult Volunteers & Total Hours Contributed:754 Adult Volunteers contributed 82,989 hours (valued at just over $1.9 million)

Unlocking the Gates of Auschwitz: Seventy Years LaterCollaborative Exhibit Displays Local Heroism and History

“This exhibit will shed new light

on this important part of our

collective history…”

- Sarah L. Weiss, Executive Director, Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education

The world first learned of the atrocities of Auschwitz when Soviet forces liberated the notorious German concentration camp in 1945. In 2015, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center’s exhibit, Unlocking the Gates of Auschwitz: Seventy Years Later, revisited the triumphs of human spirit found at Auschwitz and sparked the call to action against modern injustices.

More than 100 artifacts, many never seen before in public, told the story of Auschwitz through documents, videos and photographs. Two local survivors, Werner Coppel and Bella Ouziel, also

shared their personal testimonials of courage and perseverance through the exhibit.

The exhibit was curated by the Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education and featured items from the private collection of Steven F. Cassidy, the Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Archives, the Klau Library of Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion and the Randolph family. It was designed, fabricated and installed by Cincinnati Museum Center with design assistance from the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.

Diversity in BaseballExhibit Showed How Sport Reflects SocietyAs America’s pastime, baseball has mirrored the social and political change of the nation that gave birth to the sport in the 19th century. Diversity in Baseball, an original exhibit at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, examined up close the story of baseball and its own efforts to knock down the barriers of exclusion reflected in society, which continues today.

Through compelling illustrations and powerful stories, Diversity in Baseball explored the challenges faced by the legendary group of players featured in the exhibit, who broke racial, gender and physical barriers as baseball evolved into a more inclusive sport. Staged to coincide with Major League Baseball’s 2015 All-Star Game, which took place in Cincinnati, the exhibit’s successful run extended through September.

In August 2014, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center honored two global heroes who changed the face of their nations and the world. Former President Lech Walesa of Poland and the late President Nelson Mandela of South Africa received the International Freedom Conductor Award at a gala that launched the Freedom Center’s 10th anniversary celebration.

Luvuyo Mandela of the Nelson Mandela Foundation accepted the award on behalf of his great grandfather.

The award was created to recognize the contributions of contemporary individuals who, by their actions and personal examples, reflect the spirit and courageous actions of conductors on the historic Underground Railroad.

John DiehlWhen longtime friend and former Cincinnati Historical Society Board President John Diehl died this year, he left a tremendous legacy. Through John’s leadership, beginning in 1962, the Cincinnati Historical Society grew into the Cincinnati History Museum and communicated our regional history to a wider audience through our collections of objects and historical materials. John contributed to this collection through a bequest of his beloved Luman Watson tall clock and two mantel clocks made entirely of wood. John also left a monetary bequest to Museum Center as a sign of his love for this institution over many decades.

William “Bill” FriedlanderMuseum Center lost a true friend with the passing this year of Bill Friedlander. Bill, a 1999 Great Living Cincinnatian, was chairman emeritus of Bartlett &Co., where he worked for 57 years. For decades, Bill and his wife Sue, who survives him, were dedicated supporters of Museum Center. During the Treasures in Black and White: Historic Photographs of Cincinnati exhibit, Bill and Sue sponsored a photograph by Paul Briol of the statue of Abraham Lincoln in Lytle Park, because Bill, an amateur photographer, had taken a photograph from the same vantage point. Showing his concern for future generations, Bill created a generous undesignated endowment that will help Museum Center fund its educational programs for years to come

Lois RosenthalLois Rosenthal was a devoted Trustee of Cincinnati Museum Center. During her tenure, she and her husband, Dick Rosenthal, supported efforts to restore Cincinnati’s Union Terminal. Lois was also a past member of the Board of the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. There, drawing on her compassion for those with little or no voice, she envisioned, championed and funded Invisible: Slavery Today, the world’s first museum-quality, permanent exhibition on the subjects of modern-day slavery and human trafficking.

Jake PowersJake Powers lived a genuine and compassionate life. As a member of our guest services team at Cincinnati Museum Center, Jake easily made friends among our team and was well liked by all. His kind and gentle demeanor did not go unnoticed by guests, either. Jake strived to engage with and meet the needs of every guest with whom he came into contact. He was a model team member and is remembered for his good nature, warm smile and passion for history. In his memory the Jacob S. Powers Memorial Award Fund was created. The fund includes an annual scholarship, available only to Museum Center employees, to help offset living expenses while attending college. The 2015 award recipient was Aaron Deininger.
