Rising above the concrete slopes of Cincinnati’s Public Landing at Sawyer Point is a three-story, 60 ton, exact replica of the original red paddle wheel from the American Queen riverboat. It is positioned about 40 feet off the ground, above a series of metal smokestacks in what is known as the Dan and Susan Pfau Whistle Grove. The smokestacks showcase the importance of steam in the early days of riverboat travel and the relevance that riverboats played in the early history of Cincinnati.
The stacks have motion sensors that, when you placed you hand on the shadowed hands, you would hear the sounds of that era, such as music, steamboat talk and mechanical sounds.
In the center if a plaque with a riddle;
"In order to make this grove to sing
You'll walk an X within the ring
Start here and move towards the tide
Circle close, 'round the last stack, turn back in stride.
Now walk towards the city and turn as before
To the center, turn left and repeat it once more
Stand still
Listen and chill
Watch the rhythmatic steam
The hidden music is inbetween."
If followed, it once let of steam and whistles to reward those who solved it. But due to budget cuts, it only goes off during special dates.
