German Heritage Museum

German Heritage Museum Open Sundays, 1-4PM, mid-May through October, and first Sunday of December (St. Nicholas Fest).

The German Heritage Museum serves as a focal point in presenting and displaying German-American culture. This museum is the first of its kind in the region, and a testament to the many contributions German immigrants and their descendants have made to the making of America and the Ohio Valley in particular. The museum focuses especially on the history of German-Americans in the Greater Cincinnati

area, but covers other areas as well. Displays showcase the activities of more than forty organizations affiliated with the German-American Citizens League of Greater Cincinnati, which opened the museum in 2000.
