Historic Village Happenings... 

Since the Village opened in 1976, guests from around the world have enjoyed sitting in our Village Church to sing hymns accompanied by the beautiful music from our historic reed organ. Built in the early 1900s, this reed organ was originally used in St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Pettisville, OH. This winter, Don Glasgow and Junior Historian Jonah Stiriz are working together to restore this organ thanks to the generosity of donors who have contributed to this restoration project. An expert in organ restoration, Don has been sharing his experience with Jonah and together they have rebuilt six organs over the past year-and-a-half. While our reed organ will look the same when it returns in the spring, it will play like a new organ. Be sure to stop by this season and hear the new sounds of music in this historic church.
 



Taste of the Past... Monday, June 23, 2008

“It is hard to beat great food, great conversation and great fellowship.”
“We’re looking forward to the next dinner!”

These were just a few of the many compliments we heard following our first ever “Taste of the Past” Historic Dinner at Sauder Village in February. Featuring recipes from the Lauber Family, the evening was filled with memories old and new. If you missed this dinner, don’t worry. We are offering another one in June to tie into our Pioneer Family Weekend!

We invite you to our second “Taste of the Past” dinner Monday, June 23, at 6:00 PM. This time we will feature a picnic/threshers dinner theme and plan to have the meal outside in the Village Green. Featuring historic recipes, information and fun, we hope you will plan on extending your stay with us and join us for this evening. Space is limited. The cost is $35.00/$30.00 for members and includes the multi-course picnic and other surprises. CLICK HERE to make reservations!
