The Pommer-Gentner House
Built in 1840, this is a sterling example of high-style German neoclassicism. The house is furnished to reflect the earlier settlement period. The property includes a period garden and small half-timbered barn with 19th-century tools.
The Strehly House
Built in stages from 1840 to 1869, the Strehly House once housed a German-language newspaper. In 1857 Carl Strehly built a winery next to the house that now displays one of the few remaining carved wine casks in the Midwest.
German School Museum
The arts and crafts of yesteryear are well preserved in the Historic Hermann Museum rooms at the German School. Built in 1871, the building served as Hermann's elementary school until 1955. The town clock has been operating since 1890.
