Yesterday - Wednesday, we went with Maxine Koch and her sister Judy Chroninger to the Historic Sauder Village in Archbold, OH
Though we were told a couple hours would "do" the whole village, when we were there on Tuesday, we started when the opened at 10:00 am, took a break for lunch in their Barn Restaurant, and walked until after 3 pm. The entire village is "manned" by people dressed in the time period of the 1800's and do a good job of explaining each building.
Erie Sauder started a little woodworking business in 1934 and it has grown into a huge business CLICK FOR WEBSITE that has 4 million square feet of buildings and over 2,000 employees, primarily making RTA (Ready to Assemble) furniture. We drove by the manufacturing area, but did not take time to do a factory tour. Maybe next time we are through this area.

88 degrees as I continue this at 4:20 pm Thursday. We went to Shipshiwana, IN this morning; did some looking-shopping at big bulk food Amish/Menonite run store. Drove different way back through the country. Lots of beans turning--harvest not too far away. This area has been real dry and the beans and corn, by & large, are pretty short.
