Cincinnati, OH, August 25, 2026 —

Findlay Market, a cornerstone of Cincinnati’s community, is embarking on a significant historical project as it prepares to celebrate its 175th anniversary. The market is actively seeking to gather personal stories and photographs from individuals who have been integral to its past, including former business owners, employees, and their families.

This initiative aims to create a comprehensive commemoration of the market’s long-standing legacy. The collected narratives and images will form the basis of a year-long project designed to illuminate Findlay Market’s historical importance within the city’s culinary, commercial, and social fabric. The project will delve into the market’s role as a hub for food, business, and community engagement over its extensive history.

Details regarding the specific timeline for the collection of these stories and photographs, as well as the format in which they should be submitted, were not provided. Furthermore, information about how the collected materials will be publicly presented or archived was also not detailed in the initial announcement.

Findlay Market has been a fixture in Cincinnati for nearly two centuries, witnessing and participating in the city’s evolution. The upcoming anniversary provides an opportunity to reflect on the countless personal connections and economic activities that have shaped the market into the institution it is today. The call for personal histories underscores a commitment to preserving the human element of this historic landmark.

The market encourages those with relevant experiences and memorabilia to come forward and share their part in Findlay Market’s storied past. This collaborative effort is expected to enrich the understanding and appreciation of the market’s enduring impact on Cincinnati.
