This is a wonderful local history museum. It has great content, friendly staff, and is family friendly. My two daughters and I visited on Smithsonians Free Museum Day. I enjoy history and enjoyed reading a number of signs and displays covering various aspects of local history. My children were fascinated by some of the exhibits (the model city and trains on the first level were a highlight), but especially by the child-friendly activities to be found on each floor. I was quite impressed that each floor had at least one area for young children to play and interact with the theme of the area (i.e. train table, or fishing from a boat). My only complaint on the family friendly aspect is that the third floor mens room did not have a changing table. I didnt visit the restroom on the first floor to know if it had one. After going through the building we enjoyed visiting the small playground adjacent to the building. I was told that it was always free to visit. With free parking in the Museums lot I know well be back to the playground for sure, and well also go inside to see the Museums exhibits again.

Best museum in the area. Very friendly and ìn formative staff. It has four floors of displays of northern Kentucky history and civil war displays. Has a nice interactive train display on first floor. Museum has expanded quite a bit over the years and has a nice outdoor area for concerts through the summer.

Definitely a diamond in the rough. We had no idea this place existed, but it was fantastic for our toddler. So many things to play with and touch. The road has a few twists and turns, so you may want to be aware of people who get motion sick. But overall a great place to go.

Best place for little ones. If you need to get out of the house during the long winter so your kids dont go crazy or you for that mater this is a great place, Prices are low and there is so much for the kids to do also educational the way a educational attraction should be.

4 levels of interesting history from Northern KY. Ellis Crawford, curator for many years, helped make it what has become - a staple visit each Christmas for the train displays, and through the year especially with the new outside play area for no charge.

Great little space! They pack a lot into a beautiful museum inside and out. Always something fun to do with the kids and interesting exhibits for everyone. The Thursday night concerts are the place to be in the summer!

Behringer-Crawford is a great place to explore our local and natural past. The displays are varied; you never know what you will find! It is truly a best-kept secret.

This museum has 4 floors with exhibits of trains, transportation history of the area and some odds & ends like a two heads calf. It costs $9 each to enter.
