Germantown Beginnings Sit At Twin Creek City Site
Philip Gunckel and a group of German pioneers arrived near Twin Creek six miles from Big Twin Creek seeking water power for a flour mill. They purchased land at about $10 per acre, planned a future Germantown, and prepared to clear forest, build cabins, and farm in the Miami Valley.
