Sauder Village will celebrate its opening day on Wednesday, April 30, marking the start of a year filled with immersive, hands-on experiences for guests of all ages.
Now in its 49th year, Sauder Village continues to grow as a destination for meaningful family outings, educational field trips and history- rich adventures. This season introduces a variety of new experiences designed to engage visitors more deeply with early life in northwest Ohio.
New themed weeks are scheduled throughout this season to enrich the guest experience. Highlights include Transportation Week (May 6 to 10) and Weather Week (July 16 to 19), offering interactive, themed activities throughout the village.
One new addition this year is expanded programming in the nature center, aimed at engaging young visitors with local wildlife and agriculture.
Sheri Friesner, director of museum operations, said, “This year the center will be open more often with fun new STEM and agriculture related activities for students of all ages.”
In conjunction with the village’s opening week, the annual quilt show will be held in Founder’s Hall from Wednesday, April 30 through Saturday, May 3. The show will extend into the village with quilt displays in homes. Entry to the show is included with admission to the village.
Admission is $28 for adults, $22 for students (ages four through 17) and $26 for seniors (ages 60 and older). Children three and under are free. All active-duty military personnel and up to five household family members receive free admission (valid May 17 through Labor Day).
