Historic Village Happenings... 

From winter classes and shopping to wonderful dining opportunities – Sauder Village is a destination of choice offering year round opportunities! As the seasons change, the corn shocks and pumpkins throughout the Village are soon replaced with Christmas trees and holiday lights. Although the Historic Village will open for the 2009 season on April 28, there are still LOTS of reasons to join us during the winter months. The special events at the Barn Restaurant, tasty treats from the Doughbox Bakery and unique shopping opportunities should keep you coming back again and again. Plan a visit to discover all the history, hospitality, creativity and fun that we have to offer.
