| Wooden Shoe Hollow
April 26 at 2 p.m. via Zoom
They came from Westphalia, Germany, over a century ago, but these “Inwanderers” did not go “Over the Rhine.” Instead, Inwanderers settled across the Mill Creek. They were gardeners and truck farmers who, for nearly 100 years, sold their produce in downtown Cincinnati markets. They lived together in the fertile hollow, north of Spring Grove Avenue and Winton Place, where many of their greenhouses covered the landscape. The group carried on the traditions of wearing wooden shoes in their gardens, worshiping in their German church and dancing on Saturday nights to the music of their homeland.

Cincinnati’s oldest suburb was first settled by pioneer surveyor Israel Ludlow who built the first blockhouse on this land which was soon followed by other settlers. The neighborhood developed into a transportation, retail and industrial center as well as the home for wealthy Cincinnatians. Having suffered a decline after World War II, Northside is emerging as a revitalized eclectic community.
