Featured Artist

Bob Schmidt

Bob is a descendant of the original Saxon Colonist.  His ancestors were in the blacksmith trade and Bob follows those lines with his metal work in Folk Art.  He also give tours of the Museum, College and Trinity Church.  Bob's tour has been transcribed into a booklet that is available in the Museum Gift Shop.

 

 

 

     
     
   

The Lutheran Heritage Center & Museum has an extensive Gift Shop, offering handmade arts and crafts, religious gifts, regional resource books, regional cookbooks, and seasonal merchandise.  Nearly every item we sell is designed and created by regional artisans.
