Roots and Leaves Museum
The Luxembourg American Cultural Center’s Roots and Leaves Museum is the showpiece of the Cultural Center. The Museum is housed in the rebuilt Mamer-Hansen Luxembourgian stone barn originally built in 1872 by Jacob Mamer, an immigrant from Septfontaines, Luxembourg. Mamer immigrated to
Ozaukee County, Wisconsin in 1854.

The Roots and Leaves Museum tells the story of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, past and present, as well as the impact of Luxembourg immigrants and their descendants on life in the United States.
The exhibit panels, display cases, furnishings and artwork featured in the Roots and Leaves Museum and its Wëllkomm Centre are all gifts from the people of Luxembourg through its Ministry of Culture. The Luxembourg American Cultural Society is forever indebted to the Grand Duchy for its generosity which helped make the Luxembourg American Cultural Center and its Roots & Leaves Museum a reality!
