The Most Famous Fesenmeier
People who grew up in West Virginia often recognize my last name because it is very similar to the name of the people who owned the last brewery in the state, The Fesenmeier Brewery of Huntington. My branch of the family helped settle New Ulm, Minnesota, officially the most German town in America. It is also home to the Schell Brewery, called one of the most beautiful left in the country. I did write a history of the brewery because all of the relatives who grew up in Huntington at that time, 1980, had left the state. ( Now Michael Fesenmeier, a well-known actor and magician, is once again living in Huntington.) If you are interested in reading my history, visit the great website created by John Salvatore, the son of a well-known Huntington sports writer- The Fesenmeier and Little Switzerland Brewery Museum Website.
