Description

Hermann Farm & Museum is currently in development and will be a 160-plus acre working farm, living history center, and National Landmark located along the Missouri River, about an hour west of St. Louis at the entrance to scenic Hermann, Missouri. Once the home of George Husmann, a world-renowned pioneer in the wine industry, Charles Manwaring, a local civil war hero, and for the past 100 years, the Kallmeyer Family, it will provide the public an opportunity to step into the past and explore its impressive history and natural beauty.

The Farm site and related properties will serve as an open air museum dedicated to preserving and presenting the unique agricultural, social, and economic history of the German immigrants who settled the lower Missouri River Valley in the mid-1800s. They came with the dream of establishing a new Germany on the then western frontier of America. While they fell short of that goal, their importance to the wine making industry and to the development of Missouri agriculture is undisputable.
