Help us celebrate the works of the Wilding family with a reception and open house. Visitors can enjoy the works of Clem Wilding in our visitor center and see the recent restoration of a pianoforte by John and Mae Wilding in our Pommer House. The Deutschheim Verein will provide light refreshments.
Clem Wilding (1909-1989) started wood carving at the age of 40, and his work primarily featured realistic native birds and other animals. While wood carving started as a hobby for Clem, it became his livelihood, and he sold his creations worldwide up until his death.
John and Mae Wilding recently completed the restoration of the pianoforte made by Frederick Wilhelm Pommer in Hermann featured in our Pommer House. Funding for the pianoforte purchase and restoration was generously provided by our friend's group, the Deutschheim Verein Association.
The Deutschheim State Historic Site visitor center is located at 101 W. Second St. in Hermann. For more information about the event, call Deutschheim State Historic Site at 573-486-2200.
