Phil Nuxhall to speak at the Fitton Center

Author and historian Phil Nuxhall is set to provide a virtual tour of two historic cemeteries with ties to renowned landscape architect Adolph Strauch.

Nuxhall, the son of legendary Reds pitcher and radio broadcaster Joe Nuxhall, will discuss the Spring Grove and Greenwood cemeteries at the Celebrating Self Luncheon Series at the Fitton Center for Creative Arts. The event is set for Feb. 12 in the Carruthers Signature Ballroom at the center located at 101 S. Monument Ave.

Nuxhall will focus on the cemeteries history, art, architecture and landscape. The presentation will feature photos from his book, Beauty in the Grove: Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum, and vintage photos from Greenwood Cemetery in Hamilton.

Strauch is known for his designs of Spring Grove Cemetery, Eden Park and Burnet Woods in Cincinnati, as well as Graceland Cemetery in Chicago.
