The Germantown Crier has its origins as a newsletter first published in 1946 by the Germantown Historical Society. It was reworked into a journal format, and the first issue was published in the winter of 1949. Since then, a new issue has been released multiple times each year, and features articles covering various aspects of Germantown history. It occasionally features the works of Germantown writers and artists. The Crier is currently released twice a year in spring and fall.

Please Note: As some of the articles are almost 70 years old, they were written at a time when our community and country had different attitudes towards history, race and ethnicity. This should be kept in mind when reading the articles, and their content should be considered in the historical context in which they were written.

We will be sharing vintage articles from the Crier here in a virtual library – adding a new article regularly throughout the year!
