Families from throughout the region will be celebrating “Spring on the Farm” on
Saturday, May 9 at Sauder Village. The first in the series of farm days, Spring
on the Farm offers families the opportunity to try hands-on activities, watch
unique demonstrations, enjoy stories and special music to experience life on an
Ohio farm more than 100 years ago.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“With fun activities like making butter,
shelling beans, gathering eggs and meeting baby animals, Spring on the Farm
continues to be one of our most popular events for families to enjoy,” shared
Kim Krieger, Media Relations. “Our Farm Day series is a wonderful opportunity
for families to experience how life on the farm changes with the seasons. We
encourage families to join us this spring and then come back for Summer on the
Farm on July 11, Fall on the Farm on October 10 and the new Preparing the Farm
for Winter event on October 24.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
During Spring on
the Farm guests can watch sheep shearing demonstrations and there will be new baby
animals to visit in the barns. In the historic homes guests can wash dandelion
greens, churn butter, grate horseradish, make noodles and wash clothes. Guests
can help with spring cleaning in the homes by washing windows, beating rugs and
hanging clothes on the line to dry. Other hands-on activities include shelling
beans, making rope, cleaning gourds, collecting sunflower seeds and playing
old-fashioned games. Throughout the day there will be soap making
demonstrations and costumed guides will be preparing squash soup, breads and
other historic recipes in the homes. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />Performances by special
guest Bob Ford are also a traditional part of this family event. A folk
musician from Cedarville, Ohio, Bob Ford has been a recognized performer in the
Historic Village for many years. Bob brings history to life through songs and
stories. Weather permitting he will perform at 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 3:00
p.m. A
special book signing will also take place as part of the Spring on the Farm
event. Local author Keri Aeschliman will be signing her novel <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">In Paths of Righteousness</i> from 11 a.m. –
2 p.m. in the Welcome Center lobby.</div>

happen</strong><strong>ing to the Grime Homestead at the Village?<o:p></o:p></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Work has started on the Grime Homestead - the
first phase in the expansion of our historic timeline into the 1920s. We are
proceeding with upgrades to the home that include new siding, replacement of
windows and doors, installation of a new heating/cooling system, new perimeter
drainage and the addition of an ADA accessible ramp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are also restoring the interior plaster
work, woodwork, chimney, and will be redecorating the house based on paint and
wallpaper found during the renovation project.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Once construction is finished we will furnish
the home to the 1920s period based on oral histories from family members and
other contemporary local residents. The changes to the interior of the Grime
Homestead will help illustrate the beginning of modern times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The research into the Grime family, and other
rural families in our region during that time period, show that they are
accepting some modern technologies, while still clinging to some of the old
ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The house will have a whole new
look, and lots of new stories about the move into the modern age.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We plan to open this new exhibit this spring.</span><br />

bit of Grime Homestead History . . . </span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
The Grime Homestead was built by Pierre Henri (Peter Henri better known as
Henry) Grime (1832-1915) in 1860 for his new wife Adeline Felice Druhot
(1842-1936). Henry was the son of John Peter Grime (1789-1885) who
immigrated with his wife, Francoise Flory (1810-1876) and six children in 1843
from the Alsace Lorraine area of France. Adeline was the daughter of Jean
C. E. and Elinora Eulilia (Bollett) Druhot. Henry and Adeline had nine
sons, of whom two died in childhood. They sold their farm to their fourth
son, Gustave Grime (1869-1943). In 1894 he married Amelia Anna Kretz (1874-1953)
the daughter of Joseph and Anna Catherine (Griewald) Kretz. They had one
daughter Ethel Adeline who married Floyd Edwin Dominique in 1911. The
family was French Catholic and attended St. Peter’s Catholic Church in
Archbold. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Grime Homestead was built in the
Georgian style in 1860 and added onto in the T pattern about 1875-1880.
It originally sat further from the road and was moved to its current location
around 1910 and placed on a basement when Gust purchased the farm from his
parents. The original front porch added during the expanse in the late
1800s was enclosed at some point prior to its move in the teens and a new porch
was added to the front. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Pie History . . .</b> </span><br />
<div>
Historians trace the origin of pie to the Greeks who are thought to be the
originators of the pastry shell. The early pies were predominately meat pies
and the crust of the pie was often referred to as “coffyn”. Pies came to
America with the first English settlers with the early colonists cooking their
pies in long narrow pans. As in the Roman times, the early American pie crusts
often were not eaten, but simply designed to hold the filling during baking.
Pioneer women often served pies with every meal and with food at the heart of
gatherings and celebrations, pie quickly moved to the forefront of contests at
county fairs, picnics, and other social events. Through the years, pie has
evolved to become a very traditional dessert and a unique part of the American
culture. <o:p></o:p></div>

During the late nineteenth century, bicycles dramatically changed life throughout the Midwest. Horses and carriages were expensive to maintain in cities. There were only a few automobiles built and public transportation was often inadequate. The bicycle met the need for inexpensive, individual transportation – for business, deliveries, recreational riding and sport. What may seem a machine of modest and limited performance, in the 1890s the bicycle was recognized as a swift vehicle and fine machine.<br />
<br />
Invented in 1817 by German Karl Drais, the first 2-wheeled tandem machine was called a Laufmaschine – a simple bike with a steerable front wheel. By the 1860s, the Velocipede was introduced. While this invention added cranks and pedals, its moderate-sized front wheel made it a little faster than walking and its wooden wheels and iron tires earned it the name “boneshaker.” Eventually the English persevered and introduced a bike with a larger front wheel to increase speed and smaller rear wheel for convenience. The “High-Wheel” bike also known as an “Ordinary” was born! While the “Ordinaries” were fun to ride, it was more for sport than transportation since rough roads often brought bad spills – one small bump and the rider went right over the handlebar, head down!<br />
<br />
Finally, in 1885 the first Safety Bicycle was produced. Considerably safer than the high wheeler, the Safety Bike allowed the rider’s feet to always touch the ground and their head was only a few feet above the ground in case of a fall. Most accidents were limited to torn trousers, skinned knees and palms. The Safety Bike was the first vehicle that was practical and affordable for the common person and became a standard form of transportation in the late 1890s and early 1900s. Propelled by a chain running between two sprockets, the larger front sprocket at the pedals allowed the rear wheel to rotate faster than the rider pedaled. Early models had a wooden frame and hard rubber tires but later models were made of tubular steel and had inflatable pneumatic rubber tires – providing a more comfortable ride.<br />
<br />
Today the bicycle is used for recreation, exercise and play in the United States. It is a primary source of transportation in much of the world. Join us to celebrate the great American tradition of bicycling. Check out the bicycle exhibit in our Museum Building and plan a visit on August 2 & 3 to meet the Wheelmen and see some amazing bicycles of “days gone by”.

chocolate chip cookies have been a top-seller at the Doughbox Bakery since
1976.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our recipe was even featured in an issue of <a href="http://www.midwestliving.com/midwest-living-march-april-2010-issue/" target="_blank">Midwest Living Magazine</a>!</span></div>

the chocolate chip cookie was actually a delicious surprise! The story goes that
in 1930 Ruth Wakfield was making cookies for guests at a small inn when she
realized she was out of baker’s chocolate. According to <a href="http://www.verybestbaking.com/Toll-House/About-Us/The-NESTLE-TOLL-HOUSE-Story.aspx" target="_blank">NESTLÉ®</a>, she substituted
semi-sweet chocolate chunks into the dough expecting them to melt. Instead, the
chocolate held its shape and softened to a delicious, creamy texture . . . and
the chocolate chip cookie was born!</span></div>

<b>Title:</b> Livestock Manager. Katie Frey started working as a groomer at Sauder Village as a summer job during college. About 3 seasons ago she was hired as our Livestock Manager.<br />
<br />
<b>Main Responsibilities: </b>Katie oversees all aspects of the livestock at Sauder Village. This includes feeding/nutrition, health/medical, and reproduction. She also does historic demonstrations and helps educate guests about our livestock.<br />
<b><br />Favorite Part of her Job:</b> “I just really love working with animals and it's fun to teach others about our history and how livestock were such an integral part in shaping it,” Katie shared.<br />
<br />
<b>Anything new for guests to see this summer in our barnyard areas?</b> “Of
course! We will be having piglets born throughout the season and two
calves are expected - one in May and the other in August. We will have baby chicks, including a new breed called Dominique that will take
the place of the Barred Plymouth Rocks, out at Pioneer Settlement. We
also have two different breeds of sheep. The Merino will be housed at
Pioneer Settlement and the Southdown are in the 1910 Barnyard Area."<br />
<br />
<b>Favorite Farm Animal at Sauder Village: </b> “I grew up raising beef cattle
and continue to do so, so I have always loved cattle. I have
never been around pigs much or raised them before, but Ms. Delores Piggy
has really made me fond of her,” Katie shared. “Therefore I have to say
it is a toss-up between our Jersey cow, Brownie, and Ms. Delores Piggy.
They are both really sweet and fun to work with. I do love all of our
animals though!”<br />
<br />

<b>What are your hobbies?</b> Katie shared . . . I raise beef cattle. We breed and sell cattle for youth to show and that keeps me very busy! When I was in 4-H we showed cattle nationally as well as state-wide and it really gets in your blood. We also raise a few Boer goats for youth to show and I breed Australian Shepherd dogs. I also love to read books, play board games, watch movies and play cards. I also help with a youth program at church. Gardening is also a hobby. I like to collect seeds from year to year to see if I can grow my own flowers and vegetables. I usually create one new flower bed each year. My grandmother established most of the flower beds on our property, so now I am working on revamping those beds while still utilizing the same flowers that she planted. <br />

<b>What is your greatest accomplishment at Sauder Village? </b> I really love that we have started to use our own products in our historic cooking demonstrations at the Village. I work closely with the foodways supervisor Gail Richardson and this past year we have incorporated our own eggs, milk and other products into our historic cooking. I think that this helps make our demonstrations so much more authentic and is a great way for guests to see how food gets to the table.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What other thoughts would you like to share about our farm animals? </b><br />
“I always want to remind people that we are a working farm and that everyone needs to be careful around our farm animals. While animals may seem harmless, they can hurt someone without meaning to if not handled in a proper manner,” Katie shared. Katie also wants guests to remember that our animals are fed a strict diet and something foreign can cause them to become very sick, so please don’t feed them grass, candy, or part of your ice-cream cone!<br />
<br />
<b>What do you hope people will learn from our livestock program at Sauder Village?</b> “I hope that guests walk away with
the knowledge of how important farm animals were to the early pioneers as
well as how important they are today,” Katie shared. “Livestock not only
provided and continues to provide food, but also a means of transportation and companionship.” <br />
<br />
Katie also shared that she hopes our guests really come away with how
much we love our animals at Sauder Village. “Growing up on a
family farm, I also hope guests realize how much farmers love their animals as well. We
are just caring people who love our animals, love what we do, and work
very hard to provide food for others.”<br />

<b><br />What other information would you like to share?</b><br />
We do practice modern day veterinary protocols at Sauder Village, so I am up-to-date on many concerns going on within the food industry today. Any questions or concerns about modern day food health issues or treatments of the animals I will welcome and try to answer to the best of my ability. And, if I don't know an answer to your question I will happily point you in the right direction to find out the answer.<br />

sometimes much better than new ones! When new varieties come out they are
geared to helping prevent insect problems or some diseases. By trying to fix
one problem they sometimes lose some of the rich flavor of the vegetable. </span></div>

some vegetables or could even just place some plants within a flower bed. If
space is not a problem then maybe make a bed just big enough to try a few easy to
grow vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce or even green beans. There
are many questions to consider when starting a garden. Is this for one person’s use
or more? How much space do you have? How much time do you have to spend gardening? Feel free to call and I can give you more
information to get you started. Susan, 800.590.9755.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I'm never sure about when to prune
the bushes in my yard (Lilac, Forsythia and Burning Bush). Any suggestions?</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The rule of thumb I use: If
it’s a flowering scrub that blooms from buds that were formed on the previous
season’s growth, you need to prune it right after it is done blooming.
The scrub needs a full year’s growth to produce the blossoms. Among
these are azalea, bridal wreath spirea, dogwood, forsythia, lilac, mock orange,
climbing roses, snowball viburnum and wisteria.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Other scrubs bloom on buds of the
current season’s growth. These would be pruned during the dormant period. I
like to do it when the weather breaks in the early spring when most of the
harsh winter is done so there isn’t a lot of winter die back. Butterfly bushes,
clematis, highbush cranberry, honeysuckle, rose bushes, and rose of Sharon. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Burning Bushes can be done anytime
but it is best to prune in early spring before it leafs out you can see the shape
better while pruning. When scrubs are out of control, sometimes it is best to
prune to the ground leaving just a few inches for them to start all over.</span><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></b><br />

want to know how to safely get rid of squash bugs! My zucchini and summer
squash start out looking great...then almost overnight they shrivel up and die
and I find those bugs! I don't want that to happen again this year!</span></b><br /><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This
is a hard one because the Squash Vine Borer has a small window of time to get
it under control and by the time you see you have a problem it’s too late. Try
starting the seeds inside early in the spring, so the plants are too large for
the bug to bother. They feed only when they are caterpillars for about a month.
You have to watch for the female moth laying eggs which can occur in June or
July. After the eggs hatch the white larvae then bore into the stems. This may
take a little patience in checking daily the backs of the leaves. Picking off the
egg infested leaves is non-chemical way. The insecticide that you can use would
be something with Methoxychlor. You would apply this during the egg-laying
time. </span></div>

<b>Meet Susan Burkhart<br /></b><br />
<b>Title:</b> Grounds Supervisor. Susan has worked at Sauder Village for 18 years<br />
<br />
<b>Main Responsibilities:</b> Susan is responsible for taking care of all the landscaping at Sauder Village – including all historic gardens.<br />
<br />
<b>Favorite Part of Job:</b> “I love my job!” Susan shared. “There are always a variety of things to do. My responsibilities change with the seasons – from planning gardens in the winter to planting flower beds, harvesting vegetables and decorating for Christmas! This time of the year it is fun to dream about the gardens. I love thinking of new ways to share our story and new garden-themed activities that guests can get involved with.”<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Favorite Flower or Vegetable:</b> “I love the variety of squash and pumpkins. It is so much fun to plant the seeds, watch them grow and as the leaves die back see the bountiful harvest,” Susan shared. “My favorite flowers are the “Proven Winners” variety of flowers – they are a step up from the standard variety and make such a statement in the barrels and gardens we have here at Sauder Village.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Favorite Garden:</b> “I love the Homestead Garden. It is large enough to have a variety of flowers and vegetables,” Susan shared. “The 1900s time frame allows for a very interesting garden – trains were starting to come through and that brought new varieties of seeds for families to plant (before that they just brought seeds with them). During this time period the ladies in the house also had more ‘leisurely time’ and could enjoy more flowers. They even dried them to use for decorating for Christmas!”<br />

<br />
<b>Anything New Planned this Season?</b> “We want to do more with the gardens at Little Pioneers Homestead this year,” Susan noted. “We are looking at some changes to that garden area that will allow kids to get more involved – kind of a face-lift for Little Pioneers Homestead Garden.”<br />
<br />
<b>Some Gardening Tips from Susan:</b><br />
- Try starting seeds inside during the winter, but start out simple.<br />
- Take time now to plan your garden, do some research and order seeds. Start dreaming about what you want to have this summer!<br />
- If you want to learn about heirloom varieties do research. Some great websites include:<br />
<a href="http://www.seedsavers.org/" target="_blank">Seed Savers Exchange</a><br />
<a href="http://www.sandhillpreservation.com/" target="_blank">Sand Hill Preservation Center</a><br />
<a href="http://www.rareseeds.com/" target="_blank">Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds</a><br />
<br />
<b>Other Notes of Interest: </b>We usually have some plants available for sale in the spring – heirloom tomato varieties, Malabar Spinach, Ground Cherries and more! We also have produce for sale in the Fall – when there is extra. First goal is to use the produce in our foodways program and next we’ll have for sale in the Herb Shop.<br />
<br />
<b>Greatest Accomplishment: </b>Susan has enjoyed having some of the Sauder Village gardens recognized in the media – both newspaper and magazine articles throughout the region.<br />
<br />
<b>Hobbies: </b>In her spare time Susan enjoys kayaking, traveling, relaxing at the lake with her family and spending time with her kids at their sporting events.

Early this month our Curator of Collections took artifacts to Toledo to be used as part of the Titanic Exhibit at Imagination Station. As a participating sponsor, we are exhibiting a variety of trunks, a fainting couch, table, tea service, table cloth and clothing. The Titanic Exhibit opened last weekend and runs through June 15, 2014.<br />
<br />
“Imagination Station was looking for items that would represent our society in 1912 when the Titanic sank,” shared Tracie Evans, Curator of Collections. “They want guests to see not just the movie of that time period, but how similar it was to life in Northwest Ohio.”<br />

The Maumee Valley Historical Society has provided Imagination Station with period clothing representing upper class communities/first class passengers and we helped complete that display with furniture and tea service. The curators at Imagination Station also wanted people to see what the working class community was wearing. To help tell that story we shared women’s dresses, a man’s suit, shawls, wraps and coats – similar to what may have been worn by second or third class passengers on the Titanic. We also took trunks to Imagination Station to help tell the story of travel during the early 1900s. Two of the trunks were manufactured in Ohio and they represent the typical style of trunks used by the various passengers on the ship.<br />

“Our involvement with this special exhibit is a great way for people to see that our collections represent not just life in Northwest Ohio, but how connected our ancestors were to a national and international story,” Tracie added. “The Titanic event happened thousands of miles away but it still reverberated in our local communities. There were people who lived in this area who were on board or had family members on the ship and were touched by this tragedy.”<br />
<br />
In addition to having some artifacts from our collection on display, some Sauder Village staff members will also be presenting special programs this spring at Imagination Station. Some of the programs will focus on preservation of artifacts, telegraphy, and tea time. Watch for more details on our <a href="http://www.saudervillage.org/" target="_blank">Sauder Village website.</a><br />

knitted Presidents in the Museum Building this season. The exhibit includes all forty-three
men who have been President of the United States. These three-dimensional
figures are surprisingly life-like with period clothing and include unique
elements that represent their work, hobbies, events and activities.</span><br />

Give it a Try!Have you ever watched our costumed guides making noodles in the Eicher Cabin or Witmer-Roth home and said, "I should really try that sometime!" Well perhaps this short blog post will inspire you! Winter is a great time to make homemade noodles that you can use in a pot of soup on a cold, snowy day! Almost every farm woman had her own recipe for making noodles. This is one often used at Sauder Village.<br />

Here is just a bit of history to help you better understand this beautiful craft . . .</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />Rug hooking started in the mid 1800s in the Eastern United States. Like many crafts, rug hooking was started out of necessity. Colonial women used rags to make hand-hooked rugs to use on their floors in the summer and on beds in the winter.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The base of the rugs was made from the burlap sacks that the livestock feed came in and the fabric was any material that could be found including worn clothing, rags, old wool blankets or spun wool. Women hooked rugs in their homes to help pass the time during the hard cold winters.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixzslYKxkTDBLOswTGVA7BRXw2isSsRsrRLo0OhzHggx3iTkz1sQVMlFhyphenhyphenn6nQtZB8kpwQy8gDcBFNbEXJrbkeI3UZzEIzB5dqjiYtb1fR7EVpAnc35UQCQkrwZ30GLC9h6K6hiDElXsQ/s1600/DSC04228.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>To hook a rug, the rug hooker, with her right hand above the pattern and the cloth strips in her left hand underneath, pushes the hook down through the burlap. The hook catches the cloth strip and the rug hooker draws it back up to form a loop on the top of the burlap. Loops about half an inch long (length can vary) are formed to create the rug.</div>

People eventually began selling hand-hooked rugs and cottage industries sprang up across the country. By the 1940s rug hooking had become a well-established hobby in the United States and Canada and its popularity continues to grow today. Hand-hooked rugs can be found in art galleries and museums throughout the world.<br /><br />Again this year, rug hookers from across the country are gathering at Sauder Village to celebrate this traditional craft. This spectacular event includes workshops, lectures, vendors, demonstrations and a breath-taking exhibit in Founder’s Hall. We hope you'll visit the exhibit to see what all the excitement is about!<br /><br />More detail about this special event can be found online at:<br /> <a href="http://www.saudervillage.org/Creativity/rughooking.asp" target="_blank">http://www.saudervillage.org/Creativity/rughooking.asp</a><br /></div>

It's hard to believe that school will soon be back in session for students throughout the region. Parents will be shopping for notebooks, pencils and new school clothes in preparation for another school year. <br />
<br />Have you ever wondered how our classrooms of today differ from those of 100 years ago? If so, we hope you'll take time to visit our District 16 School! Have a seat in desks, complete with ink wells, just as students did in their new school building in 1898. Discover how the lives of today’s students and teachers differ from those of children years ago. And, maybe you’ll learn of some aspects of one-room schools that still continue today.<br /><br />

The school that we call District 16 was originally called District #3, or Maple Grove School, in Chesterfield Township of Fulton County, Ohio. The Maple Grove School was actually moved to Sauder Village from an area near the Ohio-Michigan border, north of the town of Wauseon. It was used from 1898 to 1916. The first four buildings built in the Maple Grove District were log buildings much like the Log Schoolhouse in the Historic Village. Our “District 16” schoolhouse was the seventh building built in that district. After being used for 18 years, a new centralized school was built in 1916, and the time of one-room schoolhouses in Fulton County came to an end. <br />
<b><br />Interesting Facts About our Schools at Sauder Village (Log School and District 16 School):</b><br />In the 1830s, children attended school for short periods of time, sometimes for as little as 3 months during the winter!<br />
<br />In schools like our Log Schoolhouse, greased or oiled paper was often used over window openings due to the great expense of glass panes<br />
<br />One-room schools housed all the children in a district, often ranging from 6 to 20 years of age!<br />

<br />Before being located by Erie Sauder, and restored at the Historic Village, the District 16 building was being used as a granary.<br />
<br />You will find 2 entry doors on the front of the District 16 School. It was specifically designed that way, with one entry for the girls to use, and one for the boys.<br />Sauder Villagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16642020289401087958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-973888911199055294.post-55198261085352259342012-07-06T14:38:00.000-04:002012-07-09T09:47:07.991-04:00Food Preservation - Not Just for Grandma Anymore!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With grocery stores offering a variety of foods throughout the year and refrigerators and freezers in our homes - it might seem that canning and preserving foods would be a thing of the past. However, it seems food preservation is actually the new trend in homes across the country. Canning and preserving is not just for grandma anymore! In fact, some professionals in the canning business estimate that more than half of the canning population is under the age of 45!<br />
<br />
Throughout the season guests visiting Historic Sauder Village can often see an assortment of vegetables being harvested from our gardens. Our costumed guides demonstrate a variety of food preservation techniques including drying, pickling, canning and even smoking meats. These demonstrations give our guests a unique look at the food preservation efforts of days gone by. The demonstrations vary with the season and time period in the Historic Village and recipes are often available for guests to take home.<br />

an 1863 steam engine which played an important part in building
America’s first transcontinental
railroad. Guests of all ages enjoy traveling back in time by riding the Erie
Express through the historic timeline at Sauder Village, including Natives and
Newcomers, Pioneer Settlement, and the 1910 Homestead area.

task and our maintenance staff makes this a priority. However, servicing the
train is difficult and time-consuming. Access to the underside of the train is
necessary to maintain the equipment, requiring the over three-ton train to be
lifted off the track. </span></span></div>

The Board of Trustees of Sauder Village recently selected Dean Spangler as the organization’s first ‘non-family’ chairman. Dean follows Maynard Sauder who will continue to serve as a member of the board of trustees and as ‘Chairman Emeritus’ at Sauder Village reflecting his long service to the living-history museum founded through the vision of his father, Erie Sauder in 1976. <br /><br />Mr. Sauder noted that he and his wife, Carolyn, Executive Director Emeritus, were so pleased with Dean’s enthusiasm to serve. “Dean Spangler has a lot of energy and passion for Sauder Village and has already made a difference in its operations and plans. Our family is excited that another ‘family business’ leader that shares and understands Erie’s vision is willing to participate in leadership.”<br /><br />Mr. Spangler stepped down from the CEO position at Spangler Candy Company in July 2011, where he continues to serve as Chairman. “To be asked by the Sauder family to serve as Sauder Village Chairman is the pinnacle of my career and my greatest honor,” Dean shared. “The village was created by the Sauder family’s amazing philanthropy over the past 35 years. Today it belongs to all of us in Northwestern Ohio and is our collective responsibility to help sustain it for generations to come.”<br /><br />Dean added, “I believe that Sauder Village is an extremely important cultural and economic asset of Northwest Ohio. Erie Sauder wanted to make sure that all of us understood and remembered the hard work of our ancestors who settled this part of Ohio in the 1830s, drained the Great Black Swamp and established the foundation of one of the greatest agricultural economic systems in our nation’s history. Erie believed that history was best learned by experiencing it and that is what a living history village like Sauder Village is all about.” <br /><br />Debbie Sauder David, Sauder Village Executive Director, is also looking forward to Dean’s increased involvement at Sauder Village. “Dean brings a wealth of experience in business development, strategic planning and leadership to our Sauder Village Board,” Debbie shared. “Even more important, however, is Dean’s passion for our mission.”<br /><br />Other members of the Sauder Village Board of Trustees include Dick Anderson, The Andersons, Inc.; Julie Brotje Higgins, Ph.D., CFA, The Trust Company of Toledo; Marcia Sloan Latta, DePauw University; Ed Nofziger, Haas Door Company; Harold Plassman, Plassman, Rupp, Short & Hagans; Carolyn Sauder, Executive Director Emeritus, Sauder Village; Myrl Sauder, Chairman, Sauder Woodworking Co.; Maynard Sauder, Chairman Emeritus, Sauder Woodworking Co. and Sauder Village; Shirley Short, Founding Board Member and Rick Yocum, Yocum Consulting Associates, Inc.<br /><br />Board members also elected to serve in leadership roles for 2012 include Myrl Sauder as Vice-Chair, Rick Yocum as Treasurer and Harold Plassman as Secretary.<br /><br />The Sauder Village mission is to provide guests with experiences rich in history, hospitality, creativity, and fun. Since opening in 1976, Sauder Village has grown to a 235-acre complex with more than 450 employees and 400 adult and 200 youth volunteers. As Ohio’s largest living history destination, Sauder Village includes the award winning Historic Village, the 98-room Sauder Heritage Inn, a 48-site campground, the 350-seat Barn Restaurant, the Doughbox Bakery, and banquet seating for 750 in Founders Hall. The Historic Village preserves more than 75 historic structures and nearly 50,000 artifacts where history is brought to life through the stories, demonstrations, and programs that impact nearly 100,000 guests of all ages each season. Proceeds from the retail and hospitality areas, along with admissions, memberships, and donations, contribute to the financial support for this 501(c)(3) organization.Sauder Villagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16642020289401087958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-973888911199055294.post-313792568716235682012-04-12T15:32:00.001-04:002012-04-12T15:35:37.991-04:00Buttercup's New Calves!<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This week we were pleased to welcome two new calves to our

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br />Experiencing life on the farm is a favorite part of the
Sauder Village experience for many of our guests. They love meeting the oxen,
watching our historic farmer use horses to work in the fields and seeing the
baby chicks, lambs and calves grow up throughout the season. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Providing quality care for our animals is quite an expense
for our non-profit organization. Sauder Village will invest a minimum of $1,750
in the coming year to raise a baby calf (and now that dollar amount is doubled
with a surprise set of twins!). We’ll have feed, hay and water to buy as well
as vaccinations to keep our new calves healthy. We’ll also have labor expenses
for our historic farmer to help care for these new additions to our barnyard.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Don’t these new baby calves just make you smile? If so,
we’re hoping you’ll consider supporting our historic farming program at Sauder
Village. Why not make a donation today to help
with the on-going care of our new baby calves? Whether you donate $25 or $250 .
. . . your support will help care for this adorable set of twins! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Like
everyone else, I always build up in my mind’s eye how a place will look
and what it will be like even before I arrive. Sauder Village and Rug
Hooking Week were no exception. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"><br />My
sister Nola and I had an annual ritual. Each year, before she left for
Sauder Village for the week, we talked about her upcoming trek to Ohio,
like what she would bring for the booth and what she might be teaching,
and who she might see while there. Our ritual wasn’t complete until she
returned and filled me in on all the sights, sounds, and even tastes of
the week.<br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Rolling
into Archbold from hours on the interstate and years of having Nola
paint a picture of the town I was still surprised. I have to say it
right now: Archbold is an adorable town. Surrounded by neat fields of
towering corn, Archbold is the kind of town you would see featured in a
heart-warming movie about Americana. Perfectly manicured lawns and one
adorable house after another met my eyes . . . . . </span></span></div>

That is when a PBS series, <em>Woodcarving with Rick Butz</em>, aired in the 1990s featuring Rick Butz, a woodcarver from New York State. It was fascinating to watch him create figures from little chunks of wood as he continually reminded his viewers that anyone can carve wood. I was prompted to make a donation to PBS in order to get his book that featured the projects in the series. Now, it is almost 25 years later and I have yet to meet the person who unwittingly tweaked an interest that became a passion for carving. <br />
<br />
I love to demonstrate carving at historic sites because the children always come up with new and interesting comments and questions. Adults ask things like, “How long did it take you to carve that? (Answer: I don’t know because it was fun.) What kind of wood is that? (Answer: Probably basswood because it carves nicely or maybe something that was free. Free basswood is the best.) Kids ask questions like, “Why did you make it purple” and “Can you make a dragon?” It is great fun to encourage them to touch the carvings and talk to them about their own creative processes. I always ask them if they are woodcarvers already and they usually say no. My response is always, “Well, it is not too late for you to learn.” You can usually see a spark of interest light up in their eyes as they imagine themselves, knives in hand, attacking a chunk of wood. <br />
<br />
Woodcarving can be enjoyed with a minimal number of tools. A knife, gouge, a v-tool and a sharpening strop can get a person started doing relief carving, three dimensional carving, animals, caricatures, architectural carving, folk carving – the possibilities are limited only by your own imagination! There are many woodcarving books, classes and carving clubs in the area to help new carvers get started. The internet is also a great source of information and supplies. <br />
<br />
Sauder Village is one of the few places where time truly stands still for me. It has been one of my favorite places for many years, enjoying art, craft, and history. Visiting the farmhouse is just like a visit to my grandmother’s home. I remember when Grandma heated with a coal stove and you knew it was “safe” to crawl out from under the warm comforters from the unheated second floor bedrooms when you heard the clinkers rattling and coal pouring into the stove for the morning fire. <br />

I love attending the Woodcarver’s Show and Sale each October and now am very fortunate to be able to be a part of the event by setting up a table and attending classes. Another favorite activity is to be able to volunteer to demonstrate fiber art in June at the Focus on Fiber Arts event. What great fun to pack up my spinning wheel and wool and spend the day spinning and talking to visitors about another activity that I love. This past summer I also worked in the Basket Shop and Tin Shop a few days each week weaving baskets and making my favorite, tin cookie cutters. The visitors are great sources of information relating their stories and memories. <br />

Some craftsmen have been weaving or making baskets for years and others may have learned a new craft just to work at Sauder Village! To help celebrate “National Craft Month,” here are some thoughts from one of our coopers . . .</i><br />

<br />Becoming a member of the Sauder Village family came at the right time in my life. My father-in-law, a Master Cooper, encouraged me to visit Sauder Village and consider working in the Black Swamp Cooperage. I was hesitant at first because this opportunity was totally out of the realm of my life. I wasn’t sure how comfortable I would be speaking to hundreds of people each day and engaging guests who want to see and hear about being a cooper. However, I soon realized how much I love history and being a part of Sauder Village!<br />
<br />
Learning the craft of coopering was made easy with the help of two knowledgeable coopers – Chuck Salsbury and Kenny Schang. Under their guidance, I learned the right way to make a quality wooden bucket, butter churn or keg. Learning this craft has taken me back 200 years! In the Cooper’s Shop we use the same tools as our forefathers. We start with a log, striking it with a froe, splitting the wood and shaping that piece of wood into a stave. Using the draw knives, shaves, scorps and planes I have learned to create items to hold dry goods, liquids and more.<br />
<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBbLy9TERXOcQ6orsqHeT2A03wv0qoxDsIIW-dFqULMELI48wFbdqEQi7sjWUmCO9dMrjWSbCBP-QG3f7GHkJ_2tr3bigliLbaRuGOEeHGqyZDIpfWKFomhe-qsGPpRstoVneGBg6uUGY/s1600/DSC02279.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="153" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBbLy9TERXOcQ6orsqHeT2A03wv0qoxDsIIW-dFqULMELI48wFbdqEQi7sjWUmCO9dMrjWSbCBP-QG3f7GHkJ_2tr3bigliLbaRuGOEeHGqyZDIpfWKFomhe-qsGPpRstoVneGBg6uUGY/s200/DSC02279.JPG" width="200" /></a>Working as a cooper at Sauder Village is very rewarding and satisfying. At what other job can you meet people from all over the world on any given day? All of the talented craftsmen at Sauder Village make my job even better. They all love sharing the history and demonstrating their craft just as our founder Erie Sauder envisioned. I’m having so much fun making buckets and hope to be involved at Sauder Village for many years to come! <br />
