The Curator 

Dustin Marks is a Cincinnati-based commercial real estate professional whose passion for collecting antiquarian maps began after he and his wife purchased a 100+ year old craftsman-style home in Cincinnati. While researching the history of the property, Dustin discovered a map of Cincinnati that dated back to the early 1900's. Fascinated by this early map of the city, he soon purchased his first antiquarian map of Cincinnati at auction.

At over 200 historical maps of the City of Cincinnati, and growing, it is believed to be the largest private collection in existence.

As a way to make this unique collection more accessible to fellow Cincinnatians, Dustin launched CincyMapCollection.com — an online gallery that visually narrates The Queen City’s story through historical maps & prints.
