Historic Sites & Monuments

This collection spans centuries of regional history along the Ohio River, from the ancient Mississippian earthworks of Kincaid Mounds to the 19th-century abolitionist hubs of the John Rankin and John P. Parker houses. Architectural highlights include the French Gothic-inspired Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption and the ornate Eden Park Stand Pipe. Engineering landmarks like the 1817-established Anderson Ferry and the pedestrian-only Purple People Bridge connect Kentucky and Ohio, while sites like the Waverly Hills Sanatorium and Big Bone Lick State Park offer insights into medical history and prehistoric paleontology.
