American Historical Society of Germans From Russia

The American Historical Society of Germans from Russia has its international headquarters and museum at 631 D St. in Lincoln, in the neighborhood where many Volga German families settled. The society preserves the history of the Germans who moved to Russia in the 1760s and later came to the Great Plains. Each fall it holds a family Oktoberfest on its campus with German Russian games, museum tours and free food. Call (402) 474-3363 or visit ahsgr.org for hours and events.
