🎃 BIG NEWS in Downtown Frankenmuth! 🎃

​Have you spotted the giant pumpkin outside the Frankenmuth Historical Museum yet?

​This monster gourd was locally grown right here in our community and generously donated to us to create the ultimate autumn photo op! Bring your family, friends, and best fall smiles down to snap a picture with a true local titan. 📸🌾

​While you're here taking pictures, step inside the museum to explore the rich history, stories, and heritage that make our town so special. If you guess the weight of the giant pumpkin within 10 pounds, you'll get free admission to our museum!

​📍 Where: Frankenmuth Historical Museum (613 S. Main St.)

🎟️ Admission: Stop by, say hi, and take a tour!

​A giant thank you to our wonderful local donors for bringing a little extra autumn magic to our front porch. Tag us in your pumpkin photos—we’d love to see them! 🍂✨
