The building which once housed Eckhardt's Grocery Store still stands at 100 East South Street. A mural was painted on the side of the building to depict the family life of Germans from Russia. To avoid political persecution, they immigrated to America in the years from 1800-1920 and many settled in southeast Hastings. They had lived in Russia for 20 years and were hard-working, frugal people. Many of their basic necessities were purchased in this store, which was built by Henry O. Eckhardt. Groups are welcome to stop and see the mural at any time.

Presentations by Donna Grothen are available upon request. Donna is an ancestor of Henry Eckhardt.
