Updated Kiesling House Signage Reveal with Blacksmith Demonstration

Join us for the reveal of updated Kiesling signage. Thank you to a grant from the New Ulm Area Foundation that made this possible.

Explore the past at the Historic Kiesling House, constructed in 1861; it survived the U.S.–Dakota War of 1862, tornados, blackbirds, grasshoppers, and city development. Learn about area history, the Kiesling family & the house itself.

Adam Dauer will be demonstrating Blacksmithing at the front of the house. Dauer has been a blacksmith for 5 years and feels blacksmithing is a lost trade. He is a New Ulm native and graduated from the New Ulm High School in 2010.
