How a Kitchen Table Conversation Sparked a Preservation Movement
Sunday, September 20, 2026, Little Red Schoolhouse
In the early 1960s, Indian Hill residents Betty Hobson, Phyllis Rowe, and Margo Tytus saw Greater Cincinnati’s historic places disappearing and founded the Miami Purchase Association, which later became Cincinnati Preservation.
Presented by Cincinnati Preservation Executive Director Beth Johnson, this program highlights how these women helped launch the area’s preservation movement through successes with imperiled sites, advocacy campaigns, and educational efforts.
More than 60 years later, their legacy continues to shape the protection of the region’s historic buildings, neighborhoods, landscapes, and stories.
