Someday I hope to visit it. In 1929, a man named "Artemas Harmon" wrote a book about his heritage and said that all natural- born Harmon's/Harmann's are decended from this Hermann the German Liberator. I like to think that's true. Thank you for telling us about it. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there is a “Hermann” statue in America. Someday I hope to visit it.

Great shots! I told Tim that the next time we went out west, I wanted to see some of the Laura Ingalls Wilder sights. Loved her books when I was a kid and read them multiple times!
