GERMAN SCHOOL
BUILT 1871
Incorporated in 1849 by the State Legislature, The German School, used as an elementary school, had classes conducted in both the German and English languages.
This structure was the only privately owned public school building in the state when it was deeded to the Historic Hermann, Inc. in 1955, to be preserved and used for cultural and civic purposes. It is now a museum.
