No. I am not that old (although there are some days I feel it). Jo and I visited Sauder Village in Archibald, Ohio; near the Ohio-Michigan border in northwest Ohio. The village portrays many parts of life throughout the 1800’s. Volunteers demonstrate many 19th century crafts and professions and are very well-informed artisans and lecturers. The village curator works full-time to maintain authenticity in both the look and action of the village. Today’s photos are a small tribute to the awesome volunteers at Sauder Village.
