October 2025 Newsletter

October was a busy month for the GACC — first our German VIllage at Gretna Fest, then our own Oktoberfest. The attached newsletter shows all of the action. We’re looking ahead to a November presentation on the German immigrant history of Roberts Cove, Louisiana. We hope to see you soon.

Get Your GACC Calendar to Welcome the New Year!

For four years in a row, the GACC has produced a calendar with historic images of Gretna from our large photography archive. With photos of early cotton oil industries, railroad workers, turn-of-the-century retail businesses in the old downtown and mom and pop corner stores, these calendars capture life in long-ago Gretna.

The NEW German-American Cultural Center 2024 calendar is here. This 13-month calendar has color images from our historic collection, and the front and back covers display great pictures of the “Sacred Spaces And Places Of Honor In A German Community”.
