Program areas at German Village Society
Members of the German Village Society serve as caretakers of a legacy for the neighborhood, and collectively support the mission of historic preservation and education. The primary role of the Society is to advocate for the German Village commission process and use of the German Village guidelines on all exterior projects within the historically designated footprint. Our first audience for education is the property owners who must navigate the guidelines and commission process to properly preserve their historic property. The second audience for education is government and affinity groups who work with us on preservation best practices. The third audience for education is visitors to our historic district to that end, the German Village Society maintains a visitors center to welcome and orient visitors (as well as new residents). It is staffed entirely by volunteers, as are the Society's guided field trip and group-tour experiences together, the visitors center and the guided tours serve more than 15,000 people each year. German Village Society has 17 elected board trustees. There are 17 committies that tackle everything from visioning for the future needs of the nonprofit to gardening, event-planning and business support for the neighborhood. All told, more than 400 people regularly volunteer their time to all of the functions of German Village Society.
