“For more than a century the Gesang Und Declamation Club (now know as The Maple Grove Club) has been a member of the Rockville, CT community. Deeply rooted in German / American heritage, the Club has evolved from a German social club for most of its existence to today’s, more diverse, social atmosphere. For most of its history, the Club and its membership were involved in German folk singing and heritage, traveling to many clubs locally and nationally for festivals of all types. Annual events included a 4 day Germanfest featuring area bands, singing groups, camaraderie, and, of course, food / drink. Many of today’s older members remember the social events of the past as a highlight to their calendar.”
