Woolly Mammoths of Cincinnati

Sadly, the mammoths are no longer there. They must have been moved. The fence and building are there, but no mammoths!

The Geier Collections and Research Center is closed, but the mammoths are still out front, just behind a fence.

Woolly Mammoths

These Woolly Mammoths used to be in front of the Natural History Museum near the corner of Gilbert and Elsinore down the hill from Mount Adams. Remnants of a castle are still at the corner. The museum was just north of there where a business building now stands. The museum was shut down in the 1980s, except for the planetarium. The museum was moved to the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal around 1990.

I did not know the mammoths were still around.
