The Over-the-Rhine Museum is delighted to announce the next installment in our story-sharing series,
Have you ever heard of a settlement house? Do you know why they are important in Cincinnati’s history? Do you know that a few of these 19th-century immigrant aid organizations are still going strong today? Our Three Acts speakers will explore settlement houses in Cincinnati’s past, present, and future. First, historian Anne Delano Steinert will share an overview of settlement house history in the U.S., Cincinnati, and Over-the-Rhine. Then historian Christine Anderson will discuss the Santa Maria Italian Educational and Industrial Home established by the Sisters of Charity in 1897 at 13th and Republic in Over-the-Rhine. Finally, Seven Hills Neighborhood Houses executive director, Alexis Kidd Zaffer, will discuss the community and family services organization she leads, from its roots in the settlement house to its significance today.
