Interactive Germanic History Presentation

They came from all over the Germanic world to find a better life in Chaska and Carver County.

On Saturday, October 21, at 10:30 in the Chaska library Jim Hammers will lead an interactive presentation of the varied Germanic backgrounds of Chaska’s citizenry.

He will lead those attending through a reflection of how our individual family histories were both affected by history but also we made history through of our participation in it.  With the help of a handout each participant will develop an outline of pertinent events as they might pertain to their  personal histories and  to invite them to fill in the blanks through further study.

Mr. Hammers leads this discussion from a background of teaching German culture and language for over 40 years and from his personal family history as a descendant from the Dutch province of Limburg from which over 100 families immigrated to Chaska and Carver County.  For more information Mr. Hammers can be reached at [email protected].
