Historic Hermann Museum

The Historic Hermann Museum in the 1871 German school building is featuring the history of Hermann, MO. Parts of this history is the steamboat family Heckmann. Author Dorothy Heckmann-Shrader donated a huge part of her collection to the museum. A nice pilot house replica is the centerpiece of the river room. The river room also houses a couple of steamboat models.
