Marthasville Nonprofits and Charities

The LFGHF (full name above) is the sponsor of the DEUTSCH COUNTRY DAYS German-French and Osage Tribe Missouri history, dating from the 1700's thru 1890. There are over seventy life skills of the above-referenced above demonstrated, such as Hide Tanning, Period Animal Barn complete with 'live' farm animals, Home-cooked Springerle Cookies from dough to molds, Apple Butter from core to the jar, Scherenschnitte (new in 2013 by a nationally-known Pennsylvania artisan) various Basket weavers, Dyeing-Spinning-Weaving-Felting of newly-shorn-Missouri wool, Blade and Blacksmith, Butter Churning, Sad Ironing and much, much more! And, of course, there are six locations scattered throughout the exhibit areas for home-cooked sandwiches and meals and snacks, all furnished by non-profit groups. The children, along with many adults do not realize they are learning their heritage by watching and hands-on participation on many of the demonstrated folkways. Admission is tax-deductible as the Foundation is a 501C3 non-profit public foundation for over fifteen years. <br> <br>It is an honor to be associated with this organization and historic event, where history is alive on the third weekend in October. Twenty-thirteen is the 32nd exhibit year. Deutsch Country Days is the finest-most authentic living history in Missouri so states the Tourism Bureau. So as we say, "Kommet, Freuet Euch mit Uns," Come, enjoy yourself with us - here you are most welcome! <br> <br>
