About this Event
Live Music, Black History, and Community on July 10
Presented in collaboration with The Voice of Black Cincinnati, the event pays tribute to the Edgemont Inn, a historic Green Book-listed tavern and boarding house once operated by Irene Bacon during the segregation era. Housed within the same property that now honors Harriet Beecher Stowe. This re-enactment revives the spirit of a place that once served as a vital refuge for Black travelers and the Walnut Hills community.
Event Highlights
The event will feature live music by The YOLO Band, who will bring the sounds of the 1940s to life through jazz, swing, and blues.
The evening’s guide, storyteller Bradi La'Sherrill, will weave true tales from the Harriet Beecher Stowe House between songs that echo their spirit.
Visitors can also enjoy local food vendors, drinks, and retail shopping on the grounds, celebrating both the past and the present through music, storytelling, and community.
