GVS Membership Benefits

On January 10, 1960, a small group of dedicated, preservation-minded people met to explore the possibility of forming an association to help save this neighborhood from decline. In just a few months, community activist Frank Fetch recruited 183 people to charter the German Village Society.

Now, 50 years later, our neighborhood is a vibrant community known for its charming brick streets and sidewalks, beautifully tended gardens and homes, pedestrian-friendly lifestyle, thriving shops, restaurants and businesses, and year-round volunteer and social events that deepen and expand our connection with this incredible community. At the heart of our special neighborhood is the German Village Society, a non-profit civic association that is at the forefront of efforts to strengthen, enhance and promote our community. The challenges have been many, and the successes countless.

Get connected by joining the German Village Society. Stay connected by renewing your membership. The first 50 years have been glorious. Please join us as we embark on the next 50.

Membership dollars go toward the operation of the German Village Society, including our historic preservation education and outreach programs, the operation of the Meeting Haus, our staff, web site and other activities. Your support is greatly appreciated and your gift is completely tax deductible!
