Tidbits from Wheatfield

By Elaine Timm
Class Field Trip
Das Haus Museum was recently visited by 2nd graders from Holy
Ghost Lutheran School. Gail Carrier brings her students for an annual field
trip to learn about the history of the area and about the life of early
immigrants to our country. It's always fun to hear their questions! We will
soon receive thank you notes with a drawing of the artifact they especially
liked.
International Museum Day, May 17.
The Heimat-und Auswanderungsmuseum Stadt Brüssow/ Uckermark,
our sister museum in Brandenburg, Germany, celebrates International
Museum Day every year. This year a younger member on Brüssow set up
a Zoom meeting with us that day. Our member, Martha Haseley, was able
to speak Hoch Deutsch and Plattdeutsch with the docents and visitors there.
We hope to do this more often!
