Tourist Activities
Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park and Museum – website – After your run on
Friday, visit the more than 50 monumental sculptures spread through this scenic
park.
Voice
of America Museum – website
– Voice of America Radio was heard around the world, broadcasting from
right here in southwest Ohio. VOA began
broadcasting in 1942 to combat Nazi propaganda during World War II. Learn the history of the Voice of America
here. The museum has limited hours, but
is open every Saturday and Sunday from 1 until 4. If there is enough interest, we will ask about
extended hours or a group tour during the Flying Pig. Embargo
note: The VOA Museum entrance is on Tylersville Road
on the south side of the park, and you may visit the museum and stay within the
fenced museum grounds at any time. Do
not enter the Butler County MetroPark off Cox Road
(west side) prior to the competition.
The Liberty Way (north) entrance will not be open, although some
navigation programs may try to route you that way.
