Hermann Haunts: The Wines and Spirits of Hermann, Missouri
Founded as a utopian German settlement in 1837, Hermann is nestled in the rolling hills along the Missouri River just a 90-minute drive from St. Louis. Picked because it most resembled to them the Rhine valley in Germany, Hermann has become the center of the state’s wine industry and is populated by more than 150 historic sites, B&Bs and wineries. But as authors Holly Drago and Jill Phillips write, it’s also populated by ghosts, and this book takes the reader on a tour of the city’s most haunted sites along with a guide to the history and wineries of the town.
