Historic Village Happenings... 

We are off to a great start in our 33^rd season at Sauder Village. With more than 16,000 guests joining us for fun-filled educational field trips, this is sure to be a great season. Take a train ride to view the progress being made on the Pioneer Settlement project as the ground has been prepared and some of the buildings moved in anticipation of the opening of Pioneer Settlement next summer. Special events this summer include the Gospel Music concert, Summer on the Farm, Explore the Crafts and many more as listed on our Events page. Whether visiting for a few hours or spending the whole day, we hope you will feel a part of all that is happening this season at Sauder Village.

Shop Talk... We enjoyed having Robert Tonner as our special guest artist this year at the 25^th Annual Doll & Teddy Bear Show & Sale on August 2 and 3. Robert was with us 10 years ago and our special doll that year was "Eliza Goes to Sauder Village" with a storybook detailing her visit with Mary Lee Sauder. This year, our special doll is "Mary Lee", a Kripplebush 8" doll (as Eliza was). She represents Mary Lee Sauder, Erie's great granddaughter, and is costumed in a layered lace-trimmed cotton dress in plaid and floral prints topped with fresh, white embroidered cotton pinafore... includes tights, ankle boots and plaid cotton bonnet with satin ribbon trim at ^$69.95.
