COVINGTON, KY — Learn about Camp Springs, an agricultural community with a unique architectural character in Campbell County, KY, during the August 5 episode of NKY History Hour, presented by Behringer-Crawford Museum.

Mark Ramler, founding partner of Mansion Hill Properties, will discuss this distinctive area of our region in the museum’s weekly virtual presentation from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. To register and participate, go to https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcsdeGtpjMiEtFOHWP1OI4tooShmMxzS0oY

Information on how to connect to the session will be sent after registration.

Camp Springs was settled in the mid-19th century by German immigrants who established farms, vineyards and churches, and used stone from their land to construct architecturally distinct buildings. Many of those structures are now listed on the U.S National Register of Historic Places. Current property owners continue to preserve Camp Spring’s historical contribution to the region.

Ramler, who grew up in Camp Springs, earned his BA in architecture and a Masters of Historic Preservation from the University of Kentucky. His masters project, titled Camp Springs: Preservation and Design Guidelines, documents the area’s history and outlines ways to preserve its resources, serving as an aid to owners of historic properties and helping to promote the area’s rich history and growing agri-tourism culture

Hosted by Shane Noem and Tara Johnson-Noem, Vice President of the BCM Board of Trustees. NKY History Hour is a weekly offering of Behringer-Crawford Museum focused on Northern Kentucky history, featuring local authors, historians and archaeologists.
