COVID-19 Update: Reopening of the GAHM Begins
Dear Members and Friends,
On Monday, June 22, Washington, D.C. entered phase 2 of the gradual reopening, which allows non-essential businesses to provide expanded services with capacity limits. As you know, our museum temporarily closed in mid-March in response to the coronavirus outbreak.
German-American Oral History Project – Everybody has a Story!
Dear Members and Friends,
We recently announced a revival of our oral history project for Americans who are either immigrants from a German-speaking country themselves or whose ancestors immigrated from a historically German-speaking region, and we hope that we can count on your participation. Everybody has a story, and we want to learn yours!
COVID-19 Update and Upcoming Projects
Two months have passed since we temporarily shut our doors following declarations of a public health emergency in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. While some parts of the country are slowly opening up again, Washington, DC’s mayor, Muriel Bowser, last week extended the stay-at-home order for the city and its non-essential businesses through June 8.
Stay in Touch
While we are closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, let’s stay connected!
GAHM is Turning 10
Birthdays and anniversaries are always special occasions. The German-American Heritage Museum in Washington, DC just turned 10 years old. While our premises remain closed to the public until further notice, we have created a special virtual tribute to our history and past exhibits.
