L ocated in the Camp Washington neighborhood of Cincinnati, the American Sign Museum is a unique blend of history, art, and technology all presented through signs. Visitors can experience America at its brightest as they explore a timeline of over 100 years of sign making or immerse themselves in the Museum’s Main Street display. Founded in 1999, a collection that started in an office basement has grown to a 40,000 square foot display with a mission to celebrate the history of signs through preservation and education. The Museum
is home to over 800 signs from across the country and features a full-functioning neon shop. Audio tours and scavenger hunts offer ways to discover more about signs. The Museum also regularly offers a wide range of programs and craft activities for all ages. Come on a Saturday to take a guided tour and watch a live neon demonstration. The ASM also is the perfect place to host an event. With venues that can accommodate intimate meetings of 10 to blow out parties of 350, the glow of the signs will bring the wow factor for your
guests and save you some time decorating. The Museum has a dedicated events team that works with a list of great caterers who will all make planning an easy process so you can focus on your guests. Whether your interest is in history, graphic design, technology, pop culture, quirky places, or just wanting to get awesome photos, the ASM will be an experience like no other. Come see! The American Sign Museum is open to the public Wednesdays – Sundays from 10 am – 4 pm. Plan your visit at www.americansignmuseum.org/visit
