The Heineman Winery was founded in 1888 by Gustav Heineman, an immigrant from Baden, Germany, the grape growing region of that country. The Lake Erie Islands were already noted for quality grapes as a result of ideal soil conditions and the long growing season because of the tempering effect of Lake Erie.

By 1900, Heineman’s was one of 17 wineries on Put-in-Bay. The passage of the Volstead Act creating the Prohibition of Alcohol in 1919 was catastrophic to the Island’s grape and wine industry. Most of the wineries failed and the vineyards fell into disrepair. Heineman’s survived under Gustav’s son, Norman, by selling unfermented grape juice and providing taxi cab service to and tours of the Winery’s caves.

Gemini Giant and Miss Route66 pose in front of the Gemini Giant at his new location in Wilmington Illinois on Route66

After 60+ years of looking over Route 66 in Wilmington the Gemini Giant is getting ready for his return to town. He’s in the last days of his vacation and will be on his way back…and we’re going to throw him one heck of a party! The public unveiling of the Gemini Giant will take place on Saturday, November 30th.
Over the last 6 months the city has been working on preparing a site worthy of one of Route 66’s most iconic and photographed stops
The Gemini Giant’s homecoming also marks an extremely important milestone for Route 66. Entering on the Route’s 99th year, the Gemini Giant’s homecoming will be the first Centennial Certified Route 66 event. Having the backing and full support of the federal Route 66 Centennial Commission is truly an honor, and I know the Gemini Giant is up to the task of leaving a lasting impression on all those that get to see him.
