Please note that the German-American Heritage Museum will be closed from Nov. 27 through Nov. 30 as we prepare for our toy exhibit, which will officially open on Friday, Nov. 30 at 6:30 pm.

Dear Members and Friends,

All of us at the GAHM wish you a very happy and relaxing Thanksgiving surrounded by family and friends.

The German Schrebergarten Tradition

Written by Sam Sjoberg

Since the Industrial Revolution, our jobs have moved from the woods to the wood in our desks but we still participate in low-tech activities such as hiking. The Germans are no different.

Guten Tag miteinander! Wie geht es Ihnen heute? (How are you all doing today?) I hope all of you are doing well despite the drizzly weather we have today and quite possibly for the rest of this week. DC weather, am I right?

Hallooo schöne Leute!! I can’t believe it’s already time for the first official Artist of the Week! I had most of last week off because of the 4th of July, but for some reason it feels like I’ve been out for two weeks straight!

The board members and staff of the German-American Heritage Foundation and Museum wish you all a very happy 4th of July! The museum will be closed tomorrow, and will reopen on Thursday, July 5 at 11 am.
