It’s so much fun to experience Cincinnati with your kids — we live in such a rich, beautiful city full of fun attractions and hidden treasures. Heritage Village Museum is the perfect example of this; it’s located in Sharon Woods, right behind the Sharon Center. Heritage Village is hiding in plain sight; as you exit the Sharon Center and enter this outdoor museum, you’ll be transported to another time and place.
Heritage Village Museum is one of Cincinnati’s most unique hidden gems. It’s a well-preserved glimpse into Ohio’s rich history and heritage, just waiting to be explored.Â

About the Heritage Village Museum
Located inside Sharon Woods, the museum space is an outdoor history museum with real buildings from the 1800s. The buildings are from various locations around Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky, and include churches, log cabins, homes, a barn and old train station. Most are authentic, plucked-from-the-1800s buildings that were saved from demolition and moved to the museum (a few are carefully recreated replicas of historic buildings).
