Visit Our Museum

Over the past 17 years, the German American Heritage Center building (712 W Second Street, Davenport, Iowa) was saved from demolition, restored, renovated, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and has become Davenport's newest museum.  Read about the history of the building...

Interactive, permanent exhibit, “The German Immigrant Experience”
Since 2007, the GAHC has undergone a complete interior renovation and exhibit space was increased by six times the original layout.  The museum includes an interactive, audio-visual permanent exhibit, “The German Immigrant Experience.” which takes visitors on an exploration of what it was like to be an immigrant to this area in the 1800s.  The exhibit is highly interactive and includes a theater, audio-visual stations, artifacts and two restored hotel rooms. The creation of this exhibit area marks a major milestone at the GAHC; achieving its goal of providing a premier educational, historical and recreational experience. It was designed by Morgan-Bailey Consulting out of Des Moines, Iowa.

Additional temporary exhibit spaces
The GAHC also has two temporary exhibit spaces. These spaces will change throughout the year showcasing different exhibits.  

• Beginning March 6 - "Beetle to Benz" exhibit on the first floor.

Expanded educational programs and events
The GAHC also offers a variety of classes, programs and events.  Our calendar of events will keep you up-to-date on what's happening at the Center.
