LEARNING ABOUT THE PAST … Sauder Village guests learn to press cider during the 2023 Fall on the Farm Week.
Archbold, Ohio — Usher in the harvest season at Sauder Village from Wednesday, Oct. 9 to Saturday, Oct. 12 with the return of Fall on the Farm Week.
Step back in time and experience the age-old traditions of preparing for winter alongside our Village staff.
We invite you to roll up your sleeves and help us with autumn tasks like harvesting and canning. Discover how generations before us tackled these chores and prepared for the colder months.
“The weather is getting cooler and the Village has to prepare for the upcoming winter with the help of our guests,” said Matthew Walls, Village Education Manager.
“I hope folks come and enjoy the changing leaves, the smell of apple and pumpkin dishes and the cozy activities Sauder Village has in store for you as we celebrate the changing of the seasons.”
A highlight of the week is the operation of our Cider Mill, where guests can help mash, grind, press and strain ripe, juicy apples into delicious cider.
After lending a hand with farm tasks, enjoy festive activities like pumpkin painting and a spooky train ride, or learn to make fall favorites like pumpkin spice, apple butter and fruit pies.
Johnny Appleseed will visit each Little Pioneers each day for a meet and greet.
Saturday is Scout Day, when all scouts and scout leaders are invited to experience the final day of Fall on the Farm Week at a discounted rate. Wear your uniform or show a current scouting card for reduced admission.
See our Village transformed this October as leaves change, crops are harvested and the smell of autumn fills the air. This event, included with daily admission to Sauder Village, is the perfect start to the fall season.
