Sauder Village Tour: The Print Shop

 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".

P is for Print Shop.


Almost every small town in Fulton County had a newspaper established sometime between 1860 and 1900.  
The W.O. Printing Office is a reproduction of the community of Archbold's first newspaper office.  

William Orvell Taylor started the publishing business and in July 1905 published the first edition of the Archbold Buckeye newspaper.  Most papers like those W.O. Taylor printed started off being set by hand.  Eventually the linotype would be added along with electronically run presses and folding machines.  

Today, newspapers are done almost entirely on computers.  The Archbold Buckeye is still being printed weekly in Archbold by the Taylor family.  


The Print Shop is one of the historical buildings in the village.  Step back in time as you listen to the guide show you how the type would be set on various machines.  The smell of the ink takes you back to the early days in history to those old newspaper offices.  What a time in history and how things have changed in our ways to communicate!



For more information on Sauder Village, visit www.saudervillage.org.  
It is a wonderful place tucked in the cornfields in northwest Ohio.  Along with the historical village, they have a gorgeous inn, campground, Barn Restaurant, and bakery.  Special events are also held on site as well.

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."...
