About us:

Back in 1833, when the German settlers first came to our area, they were looking for a place that most reminded them of home. Germantown, which first began as Hanover, was just the place. Linden trees that were carried with the Germans all the way from home were planted in the existing church lot. These trees are to be slow growing and strong which seems to be a perfect symbol for our town.
