Tour of the Schifferstadt Architectural Museumand a Cold Beer at the Frederick Oktoberfest
On September 28, members and friends of the German Society of Maryland had a private tour of the Schifferstadt Architectural Museum.
After the tour, the group re-gathered at the Frederick Oktoberfest and enjoyed a beer together.
Thanks to all those members who joined us for this tour.
About Schifferstadt
Joseph and Cathrine Brunner arrived in Frederick County in 1736. They named their new 302-acre farm Schifferstadt after their hometown in Germany’s Palatinate region.
In 1758 they replaced their initial log cabin with a stone farm house. That home is now one of the oldest in Frederick county and is an example of how German settlers adapted their tradition to the American frontier.
The museum possesses the only 5-plate stove still in its original location (see photo below). The inscription on the plates read: Wo Euer Schatz Ist Da Its Auch Euer Herz (Where your treasure is, there also will be your heart).
Hey people!!!!!
Good mood and good luck to everyone!!!!!
