Building #51 is the 1920s Grime Homestead.
There are several small outbuildings around it to show an accurate description of what a homestead looked like on that day.
I love that they even have gardens growing by these historical buildings.
You feel as if you actually have stepped onto a real homestead.
The Grime house to the right with the garden and all the outbuildings.
The front of the Grime home. What a pretty little farmhouse!
The side of the Grime home. Such a pretty spot!
The basement of the Grime home. Definitely was a great space to work during the summer and for storage for things like food and canned goods.
You can see all the kitchen and home tools that were used in that day in the 1920s.
So many different methods were used in that day!
Look at that washer/ringer!
One of the bedrooms in the home. I do love the pitcher and bowl wash set.
The quilt and wallpaper were very pretty! There's the chamber pot. Ha!
Another bedroom in the home.
Interesting headboard.
I love the sunlight streaming in the window.
Again, I love the furniture and the wash set. :)
The parlor. It was kept nice for when company came.
The wallpaper!
Do you love these old phones?
A pretty piece of furniture!
An old record player!
An old secretary. I love this piece. My grandma had one similar to this.
The dining room of the home.
Player piano in the parlor which works!
This was neat! Would have been so useful for all the baking they did back in the 20's.
Baking station - I love it!
I'm curious what this is.
The kitchen of the home.
More outbuildings around the homestead.
Just a pretty scene. :) And the croquet set out front - so fun!
Barn on the homestead.
Building #52 - Little Pioneer Homestead
We did not go here because of time but it is a place geared for children to be hands-on.
You can play pretend pioneer in Mary Ann's Cabin, milk the cow in Miller Barn, or explore the Children's Discovery Garden. I thought we may look silly since I have all grown kids and two senior adults. Ha! It is a very cute place and we loved it when our kids were small.
Building #53 - Blacksmith Shop
Aaron Hampton of A.H.H. Forge is the blacksmith at Sauder Village. A native of northwest Ohio, he lives in Swanton with his family. Guests visiting the Blacksmith Shop this season will find a wide variety of items for sale such as hoots, camping gear, curtain hooks, log tongs, and much more.
Building #54 - Harvesting Building
Group lunchroom and event activity area.
Building #55 - Tiffin River Woodworks
The craftsmen make wooden toys and games enjoyed by guests of all ages. These woodworkers are part of our group of "continuing craftsmen" - artists who work using contemporary methods but whose creations capture a strong traditional flavor. Try out some of the wooden toys they've made and even purchase a few to enjoy at home.
Building #56 - Cider Mill
Open for special events only.
I hope you enjoyed the photos and information from our visit to Sauder Village.
It is truly one of my favorite places. :)
