The largest group of settlers in the Baross were German Lutherans. The Museum contains a distinctive collection of artifacts that reflect the social, economic and domestic life of these people and their descendants.

The displays in the museum include farming implements hand-made from wood by the earliest settlers; old wagons and carts; household items including historic locally-made pottery, and items of clothing including black wedding dresses from nineteenth-century brides.
