Ft. Mitchell is one of the many communities that make up the area known as Northern Kentucky, sometimes called “the southern side of Cincinnati.” The community sits between I-75 and I-275, bordered by Fort Wright, Villa Hills, Crescent Springs, and Edgewood. Here are six fun facts about Ft. Mitchell.
1. The city was planned in 1892
Although folks were living in the area since the late 18th century, it wasn’t until 1892 that an organized community started taking shape. That year, Buckeye Molding, Sand, Brick and Quarry Company. Inc. starred buying up and subdividing land. Other companies got in on the action as well, and within a decade, it was a thriving little village. The incorporation of the village was finalized on Valentine’s Day, 1910. The new town claimed 127 residents, two more than needed to incorporate under Commonwealth law.
2. It’s named for a Union soldier
Ft. Mitchell, the actual fort, was built in 1862 as one of seven such fortifications to protect Cincinnati and Southern Ohio from rebel forces during the Civil War. The Mitchell in the name comes from General Ormsby M. Mitchel (with one “L”), a professor at Cincinnati College (now the University of Cincinnati) who designed the fortifications. He was also a noted astronomer.
3. Ft. Mitchell fought I-75
Ft. Mitchell, the town, didn’t see any battles, but in the late 1940s, residents did clash with highway planners over what was then called the Greater Cincinnati Airport Highway. That road later became I-75. Property owners contended that the freeway would reduce property values and cut the community in half. According to reports at from a 1949 meeting, about 13 persons would have been affected by having the highway cut across or cut through their property.
4. It has the world’s only ventriloquism museum
The Vent Haven Museum is the world’s only museum dedicated to the art of ventriloquism. Its collection features over a thousand ventriloquist figures from twenty countries as well as hundreds of photographs and other pieces of memorabilia related to ventriloquism. The museum’s curator appeared on the Cincy Shirts Podcast in 2021.
5. The dead outnumber the living by a wide margin
Over 120,000 people are buried in the city’s three cemeteries. The living population of Ft. Mitchell is around 8,700. The town’s first cemetery was St. John's, which opened in 1867. Highland, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, opened in 1869. St. Mary's cemetery opened the following year. St Mary's was previously located in Devou Park. Why two Catholic cemeteries? One was for the German Catholics (St John's), and the other was for the Irish Catholics (St. Mary's).
6. Cincy Shirts' third location will be in Ft. Mitchell, opening July 2022.
The city is home to Cincy Shirts’ newest location! The store is located at 2501 Dixie Highway, near the corner of Orphanage Rd. The store features all the most popular Cincy Shirts designs as well as many Kentucky-focused tees.

I still don’t know the right words to express my gratitude to this great man Dr.Water. After been diagnosed of HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS 2 years ago, i was given so many health prescription and advice with no improvement, so I totally lost hope, until i found testimonies of the great Dr.Water, from my online researches on google. Like anybody would be, I was very skeptical about contacting him, but i later did and he opened up to me and told me what was involved to get the remedies for my herpes. I had to try it out too, and in just few days i started using it all my pains and itching stopped completely. I still had to complete the treatment which was 2 weeks, and after i did, the herpes was all gone. Right now i can tell you that few months now, i have not had any kind of outbreak, no itching, no irritation and no bumps. I never thought that herpes can be cured. From the bottom of my heart I’m truly grateful, i pray you have live long so you can help many more people on earth with your herbal medical support. You can write him via email DRWATERHIVCURECENTRE@GMAIL.COM or for easy and fast communication you can also call or add him on whatsapp with this mobile number +2349050205019. One thing i love most about Dr.Water is his honesty and sincerity. And also,he is very polite with his patients, everything he told me was what he did, and his herbal medicines are very affordable.

🌿☘️ I WAS CURED OF HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS BY DR WATER, THE GREAT HERBALIST.
i am so happy to share this testimony with the world because generally there are so many doubts about the cure of HERPES simplex virus. This is real take it serious, my name is HENRIETTE AMUNAZO and i am so happy that today i can give this testimony to the world and also help people who has been condemned just as i was. Who will believe that a herb can cure HERPES completely from the body?, i never believed that this will work, i have spend a lot of money getting drugs from the hospital to supress outbreaks, it got to a time that all i was wanted was death to come because i was broke and i already have strong outbreaks from the herpes virus. One day i was going through the internet asking questions online just to know more about the latest development in the medical sector to see if there is still hope then i stumbled on a post about this great man called DR WATER through an online friend who publicly made a testimony on how she was also cured of herpes simplex virus 2 by this herbal doctor who is well known for his strong ancient herbal practice for HERPES, HIV, WARTS and CANCER cure. At first i doubted both the woman and the doctor just as so many that see’s this post would doubt because medically it has been proven impossible but later i decided to give him a try so i emailed him. I did not believe him that much, I just wanted to give him a try. He replied my mail and needed some Information about me, then I sent them to him, he prepared a herbal medicine (CURE) and sent it through Online Courier Service for delivery. He gave my details to the Courier Office. They told me that 3-5 days I will receive the package and after receiving it, i took the medicine as prescribed by him at the end of 13days that the medcine lasted, he told me to go to the hospital for a test, and i went, surprisingly after the test the doctor confirm me Herpes simplex virus free, i thought it was a joke, i went to other hospitals and was also confirmed herpes free, i will say it was like a miracle. I waited to see if i will get any outbreaks again and its been 2 months now, i have not experienced any outbreak. Thank you sir for saving my life even if you cannot see this post, i shall never stop testifying the impact you made in my life by restoring back my life when i was being stigmatized and even avoided by family and friends. I promise I will always testify of your good works. if you have herpes simplex virus, HIV patient, Diabetes, human papilloma virus or genital warts, contact him and I am sure you will get cured, contact him via:
