| Maple Grove School,Chesterfield Twp., Fulton Co., OH |
The Maple Grove School was actually moved to Sauder Village from an area near the Ohio-Michigan border, north of the town of Wauseon. It was used from 1898 to 1916. After being used for 18 years, a new centralized school was built in 1916, and the time of one-room schoolhouses in Fulton County came to an end.

| Pioneer Home kitchen |
The typical 1834 pioneer home in Fulton county looked much like this with the canvas from the wagon serving as the roof for the first summer. As fall came, mud from the swamp was put between the logs to ready the building for the coming winter. Nancy's ancestors, John and Jane Nobbs, spent part of their first winter in Fulton County in their wagon because they did not arrive until October of 1835. They were finally able to build a house and move in by January, but not before losing an infant to the harsh living conditions.
Besides all the historic buildings there is also a great quilt shop (Nancy now has even more cloth!), ice cream store, candy shop, and working pottery, broom maker, basket weaver, tin smith, wood shop, and glass blower that all sell their products.
