Take a passport to discover real German immigrant experiences in Davenport

The German American Heritage Center and Museum, Davenport, is proud to announce the installation of brand new interactive, storytelling kiosks in its permanent exhibit, The German Immigrant Experience.

The Immigrant Passport Experience allows visitors to interact with the story of a real immigrant who picked up their entire life and immigrated to Davenport, in a variety of time periods. Each story speaks to a different experience, time period, age, and other circumstances of that person, according to a GAHC release.

Presenting this perspective to guests would not have been possible without the support of the Iowa Arts Council, Regional Development Authority, and Hubbell-Waterman Foundation. The German American Heritage Center and Museum (2nd and Gaines streets, Davenport) worked closely with Edwards Creative in Milan as they developed the concept, researched content, and brought this project to fruition.
