36th ANNUAL MEETING AND SYMPOSIUM
March 20-21, 2020
Batesville/Oldenburg
The Black Forest is an ancient forested region in southwest Germany. It is known for its forests, vineyards, cuckoo clocks and fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm. The Black Forest of Germany may be far away from Indiana, but sometimes it doesn’t feel that way, especially when you visit the Sherman House in Batesville.
Located in the historic downtown Batesville, Indiana, the Sherman House is a beautifully restored boutique hotel which has been a favorite resting place for travelers since Lincoln. Its 168-year history starts in 1852 when German immigrant, Johann Brinkmann built his hotel. During the Civil War, Brinkmann renaming his hotel in honor General Sherman who commanded the 83rd Indiana Volunteer Infantry during the War.
The restaurant with its century-old beams and private alcoves offers an authentic German-American dining experience in the Black Forest Bar or the Biergarten.
The Sherman House will be the site of this year’s Indiana German Heritage Society’s annual meeting and symposium on March 20 & 21, 2020. The topic for this year’s symposium will be German/German-American Connection to Education. The meeting planners are now accepting proposals for presentations for the symposium. If you would be interested in offering a presentation, please contact Giles Hoyt at ghoyt@iupui.edu.
Watch the new IGHS newsletter or the website for details about symposium registration and hotel reservations. We look forward to seeing you at Indiana’s own Black Forest Fairy Tale site in Batesville!
