German Village today is 233 acres of living history -- a unique "outdoor museum" where the old meets the new in a revitalized community. More than 1,600 buildings have been renewed since 1960. The Village is one of the premier historic restorations in the world and the largest privately funded historic district on the National Register of Historic Places. As caretakers of that legacy, the German Village Society is presently made up of over 1,000 committed preservationists.
