Use the map below to do a self-guided tour of the historic baseball and other sites in Walnut Hills.
The complete walk is about a mile and a quarter. We have started you at Ashland Park, at the corner of Ashland and Victory, but you can start anywhere on the map. Or do it in several installments! If you want a shorter route with some of the highlights, walk the two blocks on Park between Taft to Chapel. Or — equally rich! — walk the four blocks along Chapel between Montfort and Preston.

We have focused on the area around Frederick Douglass School since many of the players and teams we researched have a direct connection to that institution. Of course, other areas in our neighborhood also have a rich history of baseball. In the future we hope to do more of these tours in other locations.
