Sauder Village was started by Erie Sauder...my father's first cousin!
When my aunts...(my dad's sisters)...were still alive they all volunteered as quilters there. One of them was also one of the people who toured you through the farm house.
In the museum area, there is a section set up telling you about the beginnings of Sauder Furniture...and there are some pictures of the first buildings and employees...my dad is in one of those pictures! :)
My brother is the only one of my family-of-origin that still lives in the area...though we are related to a LOT of people in the area!
It is a beautiful village and you will enjoy every minute there!
