DAVENPORT, IOWA (July 17, 2025) — German American Heritage Center will host a ribbon-cutting on Thursday, August 7, 1PM. The Center is located at 712 W 2nd Street, Davenport, Iowa.

They are celebrating new upgrades and expanded content in their permanent exhibition, “The German Immigrant Experience.” Professionally-designed exhibition space which has not been updated in sixteen years. This update will engage their visitors with more comprehensive and inclusive stories about immigration to the Quad Cities.

The mission of the German American Heritage Center is to preserve and enrich for present and future generations knowledge of the German immigrant experience and its impact on American culture. Their focus is cultural programs and immigrant contributions. They reach out to other cultural groups and demonstrate the contributions made by immigrants from many countries and from varied backgrounds to the ethnic palette which is the United States.
