Families - if you have a loved one who lost their life in the Vietnam war, please send their name on to Mrs. Riemenschneider by April 21.   We would like to honor them by locating their name on the wall. 

Lutheran Heritage Center Museum

 Here we hear the history and examine artifacts of early Lutheran immigrants, see a Lutheran church from the 1800s and the first seminary in the country.
