Sauder Village Tour: The Barn Restaurant

  One of my favorite places is Sauder's Village in Archbold, OH.  

Take with a walk through time in Ohio's largest historic village that captures Ohio life 1803 to 1928. Hear stories shared by historically costumed guides in historic homes and shops, take a ride on the Erie Express train, visit animals in the farmyard and marvel at working craftsmen blending skill and creativity in glass, metal, fiber, wood and clay.

I lost my photos for our last visit to the village :( that I wanted to share with you. So I will be sharing ones weekly from their FB page as they highlight "SauderVillageABC".

R is for Restaurant.

It is believed that the structure that is now the Barn Restaurant was built in about 1861 by a construction crew from Fort Wayne, Indiana. The barn was built on the Mose Stutzman farm just two miles northeast of Sauder Village. The worn-out barn began its new life in the winter of 1974 in a five-day journey across frozen fields to its present location. 

On July 19, 1976 at the age of 115 years, the Barn opened its doors once again, this time as a full-service family restaurant. 

In the book “Erie and His Village,” Erie Sauder shared, “They were going to burn the barn down. With the wonderful internal hand-hewn timbers still intact, I just couldn’t stand it. And although it was in pretty sad shape outside, I knew we could make that our restaurant.”

Today the Barn Restaurant is a favorite restaurant in Northwest Ohio. The unique dining atmosphere and delicious home-style food make the Barn Restaurant an ideal spot for relaxing with family and friends in a casual atmosphere. The Barn offers daily specials, carryout meals, and a varied menu of appetizers, salads, soups, sandwiches and delicious entrees. The homemade pies, dinner rolls, and breads are baked fresh at the Doughbox Bakery adjacent to the Barn Restaurant. 

All proceeds from the Barn Restaurant support the Historic Sauder Village and all its rich history. By dining with us, you'll be sharing our past and building our future. We hope you'll join us!




We have dined here a few times.  It really is a fun experience. :)

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
