IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0A 4-MILE WALKING TOUR OF OUR REGION'S UNIQUE HISTORY CIRCLING THE RIVERFRONT OF CINCINNATI, COVINGTON AND NEWPORT. FROM THE DINOSAURS THAT ROAMED THIS VALLEY, TO ITS EARLY SETTLEMENT AND TREMENDOUS GROWTH, TO HISTORIC FIGURES THAT INFLUENCED THE NATION, THE RIVERWALK TELLS THE STORY OF OUR TIES WITH THE OHIO RIVER. CLEARLY MARKED BY COLORFUL TILE PAVEMENT INSERTS AND DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE, THE TOUR IS ORGANIZED IN NINE ZONES FEATURING 46 STATIONS THAT CAPTURE THE SPIRIT OUR UNIQUE HERITAGE AND PLACE IN AMERICA. DRAMATIC VIEWS OF THE RIVER AND CITY, AND REFERENCE TO HISTORIC SITES AND EVENTS ARE HIGHLIGHTED ALONG THE ROUTE. THIS PROJECT WILL CREATE A DIGITAL PLATFORM THAT WILL SERVE AS AN EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL TOURISM RESOURCE WITH A WIDE RANGE OF INFORMATION AND EXPERIENTIAL CONTENT THAT WILL BRING THE RIVERWALK TO LIFE. VISITORS WILL BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD THE TOUR ON THEIR MOBILE DEVICE AND EXPERIENCE A SELF-GUIDED TOUR WITH VIDEO AND NARRATED STORIES AT EACH STATION. THE RIVERWALK TOUR WILL BE LAUNCHED IN OCTOBER 2025 WITH A PROMOTIONAL EVENT TARGETING FAMILIES WITH SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN AND VISITORS ATTENDING RIVER ROOTS. THE PLATFORM IS DESIGNED TO BE A PERMANENT LEGACY AND WILL BE PROMOTED AS AN ONGOING CULTURAL TOURISM ATTRACTION.
