Our current exhibit “How German Toy-Makers Captured the Hearts of German-Americans: 200 Years of German Toys” has been featured on German television.

If you watch movies, you may already be familiar with the name Hans Zimmer. As a world-renowned composer and producer, he is one of the most prominent Germans in Hollywood.

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.

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?
