" A health movement led by Cincinnati’s German-Americans, first launched in 1848, became the stage for a fitness festival that was a show of Cincinnati’s own Olympics. UC’s Archives and Rare Books Library presents the photos and history of the 1909 Turner Festival that drew more than 50,000 fans to a special-built stadium for the event."
