SILA LYDIA BAST BELL MUSEUM & FIRE HALL 1880/1910

 

You will marvel at the 5000+ bell collection from Sila Lydia Bast who was born and raised in Germantown, WI 1900-1992. Bells collected from all over the world are displayed in a restored barn that dates back to 1870.

 

View a vintage Seagrave in our Fire Hall 1880/1910. The museum is nestled in the heart of 9 acre Dheinsville Historic Park, where you can see the 1,063 pound bell atop of the original silo-made-bell-tower. Keep strolling through Dheinsville to experience a unique ethnic history & its exhibits.
