Autumn at the Village
Savor a Season of Harvest, Handcrafts and Halloween
At Sauder Village, the fun carries on into fall. Paint a pumpkin on the Barn Restaurant patio, deck out your camper for Trunk or Treat at the campground, or watch our 150-year-old cider press at work during Apple Weeks. Every weekend this season brings a new reason to visit Ohio’s largest living history destination.
Grab a jacket and bring your spooky spirit. Scarecrows and pumpkins dress up the Historic Village, open through October 31st. The Doughbox Bakery is turning out apple dumplings and pumpkin cookies, too. Snap a picture at one of our festive photo stations, and look for seasonal flavors beyond the bakery.
