Days of Wine and Glory
The period from the Civil War to WWI marked a gilded age in Hermann. It was during this time that the wine industry came into prominence, thus giving Hermann international recognition for her exceptional grapevines. It was also then that the Missouri River would delight many with her great steamboats.
George Husmann:
Horticulturist and Wine Maker, George Husmann (1827-1902) ranks as America's premier 19th Century grape and wine expert.
