The German-American Heritage Foundation of the USA® and the German-American Heritage Society of Greater Washington, DC have partnered to bring you a glimpse of Washington’s German-American history. Join GAHS President Steve Hollands on a walking tour of German-American sites in Washington, DC on Sunday, May 7th, 2017. This tour will take attendees through the historical Seventh Street corridor. Some of the highlights include the former Hecht Company and Rathskeller and many historic storefronts.

The GAHF was thrilled to host the opening reception for the new Historic Zoar Village Traveling Exhibit on Thursday, March 30th. On loan from the Historic Zoar Village and Zoar Community Association, this exhibit commemorates the 200^th anniversary of the Historic Zoar Village, Ohio, and shares the story of how German immigrants created one of America’s most successful communal settlements.

The German-American Heritage Foundation of the USA® looks forward to an exciting spring.

We highly anticipate the opening of the latest exhibit at the GAHM, on loan from the Historic Zoar Village, which opens Friday, March 24th. The Historic Zoar Village exhibit documents a group of German immigrants who established their own community in Ohio in 1817 on the principles of pacifism and communalism. The official opening reception will be on Thursday, March 30th.
