Behringer-Crawford Museum – the BC is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the unique arts, heritage and culture of Northern Kentucky as part of the Ohio Valley. Founded in the former Eubank-Devou family 19th century home, the museum opened to the public in 1950 as a natural history museum based on the collections of William Behringer, an avid collector, traveler, diarist and Covington resident, featuring fossils, minerals, animal specimens and other oddities from his world travels. Today it has evolved into an interactive. multi-dimensional cultural center offering education, art, music and history to generations of visitors. It is open on Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm and on Sunday from 1 pm to 5 pm. Cost is $9 for adults and $8 for seniors age 60+. For those who want to stop in we will spend about an hour there before completing the second half of our photo walk.

Optional Lunch: At the end of the photo walk drive 1 mile to the Devou Golf Center’s 19th Hole Grill & Bar located at 1201 Park Drive, at 1 pm.
