Dear Friends, What a year it was! We couldn’t have done it without YOU! Thank you for supporting Cincinnati Museum Center and Cincinnati Union Terminal. Without the dedication and support from of our investors, volunteers, members and community leaders, Museum Center would not be able to provide meaningful experiences, inspiration and lasting memories every day. While it was a big year for exhibitions and programs at Museum Center, the star of the show was our home – Cincinnati Union Terminal. This year, the Cultural Facilities Task Force, with leadership from The Honorable Robert A. McDonald, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and now Murray Sinclair, Jr., President & CEO & Owner, Ross, Sinclair & Associates, LLP, the community was challenged to evaluate the value of our region’s architectural and cultural heritage not only for our past but for our future. Supporters came out in droves to share their stories and connections to Union Terminal. Our home holds places in the hearts of generations – from building this impressive structure, to welcoming soldiers home from war, to falling in love and getting married, to engaging grandchildren in STEM education – the inspirational stories are never-ending. Additionally, Union Terminal – our National Historic Landmark and one of the country’s last remaining grand-scale Art Deco railroad terminals – received national praise. In May 2014, the Google Street View and Art Project added Union Terminal and Cincinnati Museum Center to their online collections. Virtual visitors from around the world can now walk through the massive Rotunda of Union Terminal to see the beautiful mosaics that adorn the walls and venture into the Museums. One month later, the National Trust for Historic Preservation designated Cincinnati Union Terminal one of the 11 Most Endangered Places in the United States and a National Treasure - as was Cincinnati Music Hall. The National Trust also sent a team to Cincinnati to open the Yes on 8 Action Center on Fountain Square. This interactive pop-up site, designed in collaboration with the My Union Terminal Campaign Committee, was a one-stop-shop for saving our iconic piece of Hamilton County history. Visitors learned more about the restoration plan, shared their memories, pledged their vote and even posed next to Union Terminal’s iconic murals for a special photo opp. Then, on November 4, the voters said YES! There is truly no Union Terminal or Cincinnati Museum Center without YOU! Thank you for saving our home, the home of super heroes, and allowing us to continue to create meaningful experiences and lasting memories in a building that is just as inspiring.
