We found the visit very informative with information on the area that is now Germany all the way back to the Roman Empire. It covers the evolution of the country and reasons for emigration to the USA. Then covers individual immigrant stories in both written and audio visual formats. Also covers stories on immigrant life in the USA into the 1900’s. We spent about two hours there, learned a lot.
I am a member & the staff here are wonderful to work with. I highly recommend looking at their 4th floor if you need to rent a space for a meeting or an event, like a bridal or baby shower. They also have beautiful ornaments from Germany on sale. Their events, like the walking tours, are fun & very informative.
What a gem! We had a 15 year old visitor from Germany who we thought might enjoy seeing this place, and it turned out all of us loved it, including my 11 year old and 13 year old. I will be back to spend more time reading the displays. Nicely done small museum!
We really enjoyed our visit to the German American Heritage Museum. The exhibits were fantastic, and had so much interesting information on the German experience in America. We learned things we never even knew before. The gift shop is excellent too!
