First Responders for the service they give to our communities. First Responders should be prepared to present a badge/ID to receive free admission.

Fulton County Appreciation Day is always a great way to encourage people in our local communities to visit and see all the changes that have taken place over the years.

To receive free admission on Saturday, October 16, all Fulton County residents should be prepared to present a drivers license or other form of identification to verify county residency.

Health and safety professionals from throughout the region will also be gathering at Sauder Village for the annual Community Health Day featuring informational displays, health screenings, door prizes and more!

Representatives from the diabetes education, oncology, radiology, sleep lab and wound care departments at Fulton County Health Center will be on hand to share information throughout the day.

Hospital representatives have many free screenings planned throughout the day including blood glucose/sugar and cholesterol screenings. Guests will also have an opportunity to meet local law enforcement officers and explore a variety of fire and rescue vehicles in the parking lot!

In addition to the extra activities planned for this special event, guests will want to plan time to experience the past in the Historic Village. Visitors can visit places like the Grist Mill, church, schools, print shop, general store, and many craft shops.

The Grime Home and barns are a fun place to experience life in the 1920s in rural Ohio. Guests can also experience the “roaring twenties” while visiting shops along the 1920s Main Street including a barbershop, theater, bank, grocery store, soda fountain and more! Other highlights of a visit to the Historic Village include a free train ride, unique shopping, and delicious ice-cream!
