Cross the iconic Roebling Bridge into Covington, Kentucky, and discover the Behringer-Crawford Museum — a beloved regional treasure celebrating the natural history and folk culture of the Ohio River Valley.
What to expect
Set in Devou Park with sweeping views of the Cincinnati skyline across the river, the Behringer-Crawford is a richly curated museum housing fossils, folk art, Native American artifacts, and vivid exhibits on Ohio River life through the centuries. The scale is perfectly human — you never feel rushed or lost — and the knowledgeable staff offer personal context that enriches every gallery. The surrounding Devou Park is stunning, with hilltop overlooks perfect for photographs. It's a wonderfully civilized alternative to the busier downtown attractions.
Good to know
A short rideshare or scenic walk across the Roebling Bridge from Cincinnati's riverfront. Open Tuesday–Sunday; confirm hours on the official website. Budget 90 minutes for the museum plus time to enjoy the park views.
