The very name Fort Thomas seems to conjure history. Built on the site of an 1890 U.S. Army post, the town was named for Brigadier General George H. Thomas, a key Civil War leader. Located in northeastern Campbell County and easily accessible from Cincinnati via I-471, today’s Fort Thomas is alive with sports and activities for youth, adults and seniors alike. Residents enjoy convenient access to top-rated schools, independent shops and restaurants as well as the St. Elizabeth Healthcare facilities on Grand Avenue. Fort Thomas Independent Schools are consistently ranked among the best in the state. Highlands High School is annually ranked among the top high schools in the United States by U.S. News & World Report.
At the end of each calendar year, we at Soapbox like to draw up best-of lists (check back next week for our top-read stories of the year). But we also like to give you, our dear readers, a look at what's in the development pipeline for the new year.
We at Soapbox recently laced up our hiking boots and ventured outdoors to explore some of the region's best-loved urban treks, off-beat adventures and day hikes — stopping along the way for beer and conversation with the folks working to connect them all.
Greater Cincinnati celebrates its long history as home to a wealth of independent bookstores, each occupying a special place in the hearts of readers across the region.
