Historic Hermann Museum

The museum is housed in the German School building, which was constructed in 1871 and served as Hermann’s elementary school until 1955. The museum displays a diverse collection that reflects the history and heritage of the Hermann area and tells the story of “why and how” settlers immigrated to Hermann from the 1830s well into the 1900s. The town clock atop the museum has been operating continuously since 1890, and its works can be seen inside the museum.
