Just one block to our south on Schiller Street, the Historic Hermann Museum is full of treasures like this photo from a century ago.
Listen for the clock tower chime and enter through the doors below for a trove of the town’s Germanic roots.
It’s the perfect way to explore Hermann when you’re looking for things to do in the heat of a summer day or when it’s too rainy to stroll downtown.

On todays , we're sized up by a group of Hermann locals gathering on the sidewalk in front of William Klenk Lumber, at the corner of 4th Street and Market Street. William Klenk stands second from the right. The man on far left holds a bocksäge (frame saw).
This photograph is undated but is part of a collection of photos taken from 1895 - 1920.
See this and many other photos of Hermann's history in "Little Germany on the Missouri" a photography book by Anna Kemper Hesse, available in our Clock Tower Gift Shop.
