=== Jubilee Celebration ===
=== 2015 Germanna Foundation Conference &amp; Reunion:''A Family of Familes - Honoring Our Historic Heritage''&nbsp;<br>July 16-19, 2015, Locust Grove, Virginia ===


In July 2014 the Germanna Foundation celebrated the 300th Jubilee of Germanna colonists coming to Virginia. They offered tours of the '''Fort Germanna''' site, and other tours including the Hebron Lutheran Church as well as historic presentations. A delegation of about thirty Germans from the Deutsch-Amerkanishe Gessellschaft (DAG) Siegerland-Wittgenstein came to attend Germanna’s 300th Jubilee. For future presentations and tours, contact the Foundation as cited below.<br> [[Image:Germanna Fort.gif|Germanna Fort.gif]]
This reunion will feature a tour of the Fort Germanna/Enchanted Castle site on Thursday, a historical &amp; genealogical conference, with a BBQ&nbsp;on Friday, a historic bus tour &amp; banquet on Saturday, and a worship service on Sunday. This is a marvelous chance to learn more about our ancestors in the very place where they lived and struggled together. Find out more at this link:
