The mission of the German Village society is simple and direct:
Members of the German Village Society serve as Caretakers of A Legacy, dedicated to retaining the character and distinction of the past, while creating
a thriving and contemporary community in German Village.
Accomplishing our mission, however, is a great deal more complex. German Village is a 233-acre neighborhood listed on the National Register of Historic Places. We have our Meeting Haus that serves as town hall and event venue;
a visitors' center which assists thousands of guests; a web site that informs thousands more who make a virtual visit; a Calendar of Events that keeps us
all engaged; a range of programs that distinguish us as the most active civic association in the state of Ohio; and a staff that supports it all.
We welcome you, whether you are a new resident with lots of questions about owning property in an architecturally restricted historic district, a guest who comes for the German Village Haus und Garten Tour on the last Sunday of each June, or a diner with a passion for Schmidt's brats!
This site is designed to provide a great deal of information for our many audiences, but we remain available to you in person as well. Please don't hesitate to call (614) 221-8888 or to drop in at the Meeting Haus, 588 South Third Street for additional information, materials, or just an introduction.
Warm regards,

Mary Lynn Cusick President	Katharine Moore Executive Director
