My daughter Autumn and I were talking about how our favorite museum is Sauder Village in northwest Ohio. On FB, they have been sharing photos of the village and I thought I would share them here too. I wish we lived closer so we could make summer visits!
Building #1 in the village is Erie's Shop. It was originally located on the Sauder Family Farm and is where Sauder Woodworking began when Erie Sauder began working with wood at the age of 16.

The next building #2 is Sauder Cabinet Shop. It pays tribute to the importance of woodworking in this region's development. It also displays a unique collection of woodworking tools. Here is one of the village's demonstrators for the cabinet shop.

The next photos are of Building #3 - The Basket Shop. The ladies in the basket shop demonstrate how the pioneers made their own baskets in the pioneer days. What interesting work and how beautiful they are!

The baskets they make are different styles, colors and are for many different needs on the pioneer farms. In this photo above, you can see a basket specially made for gathering eggs or produce from their gardens.
This photo is of one of the men demonstrating how to make things for the farm from tin. It is The Tinsmith's Shop - Building #5. In this shop, reproductions of 1700-1800s traditional tinware are created.
