WGTE (Toledo PBS) presents "Cornerstones: The Germans"

 See how German immigrants helped bring this region to life. Beginning in the 1830s and continuing into the 20th century, thousands of Germans immigrated to northwest and west central Ohio, clearing the land and draining the swamp for farming, establishing businesses, and building churches that formed the hearts of their neighborhoods.

 Hear about how the GAF and the Seven Societies have impacted Toledo and the German immigrants of the time as well as the German Americans of today.
