The Betts
House has been part of Cincinnati's history for over two hundred years.
Built in 1804 it is located in the Betts-Longworth Historic District in
the city's West End. In 1995 the oldest surviving brick building in
Cincinnati became the "Betts House Research Center," a place dedicated
to the study of building materials and traditions. This remarkable
survivor of Cincinnati's period of settlement serves as a valuable
resource and artifact for the study of early building materials and
architecture. We invite you to visit this special place!
General museum admission is $2 per person.
Group tours are available by appointment.
Please note: Because of its age and
location, The
Betts House is not handicapped accessible. There are stairs leading up
to the
house and stairs within the house.
REGULAR
HOURS: walk-in Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 11 am - 2 pm and two
