Celebrate a traditional 19th century German Christmas at Deutschheim State Historic Site in historic Hermann, Missouri. This event will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. the first two weekends of December.
Throughout the event, the 1840 Pommer House will be decorated in the German Christmas style and open for free self-guided tours. Staff will be on-site to hand out traditional springerle cookies and share how Christmas customs of German immigrants became American traditions still celebrated today.
