Phase 2 of our exhibition progress!
We installed a new light fixture, wrapped the walls with ship imagery, added a ticket window on the exterior, and added some of the built-out details. It is so exciting to see everything come together. Next is installing the hands-on activities, computer programming, an finishing touches.
Come visit the museum soon to see our new space!

Phase 1 of our permanent exhibition renovation!
After enjoying our permanent exhibition hotel rooms for 15 years, we decided it was time for a little refresh. One of our two model hotel rooms is in the process of becoming an imaginative space for children to learn about immigration history. We swapped the furniture to the other hotel room (which was previously closed to the public, but is now open!) in order to transform this one into a "ship" with activities and information that can be enjoyed by our younger visitors.
Stay tuned for more progress and installation photos! Thanks to Edwards Creative for all of their guidance and collaboration over the past several months to help us bring our vision to life.

Join us for a paranormal investigation of the German American Heritage Center and Museum. From the building’s long history as a hotel for early German immigrants to its more seedy years as a brothel in the 20th century, the hotel was a hub for mayhem, mystery, and tragedy in Davenport’s early days. Learn about the history of our building and learn from the paranormal team about the tools and strategies used during investigations.
Whether you’re a skeptic or a full believer, a night at the museum is the perfect way to get into the Halloween spirit. 👻
$30 per person, ticket includes light refreshments.
A cash bar is available; enjoy a German beer or wine while kicking it with the spirits! 🍻
