On August 10, 2019 at 7 p.m. at the Homestead Education Center learn the fascinating story of the Germans from Russia, a group that migrated from Germany to Russia before coming to the United States to take advantage of the Homestead Act. Sara Roberts of the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia will give a program on the group’s history.
