From WOOD COUNTY MUSEUM
On Wednesday, Oct. 7 from 7-9 p.m., the Wood County Museum is holding its 17th annual German-American Day program. This year’s topic is, “German Genes? How Deutsch is your DNA?”
Have you ever taken DNA test to determine your heritage? Have the results, whether confirming or denying your German heritage, affected your sense of German or German-American identity? If so, RSVP to attend this year’s German-American Day and share your story. Each registered participant will be given time to tell their story about their German heritage, or lack thereof.
Due to state and county COVID-19 restrictions, this event is limited to the first 15 registered guests. If you wish to attend, please call the Wood County Museum at 419-352-0967 and RSVP with your name, the number of guests attending, and your phone number. A $10 donation for non-members, and a $5 donation for members is requested.
The museum will remain open the night of German-American Day until 9 p.m. for registered guests. Masks are required at all times in the building.
