Schedule a visit or stop in on June 3, July 1 and August 5
The Swiss Community Historical Society has announced that tours may be scheduled now through the fall of 2023. The Schumacher Homestead, also known as the Swiss House, offers a glimpse into the lives of Swiss immigrants in an area of Allen and Putnam counties known as the Settlement during the mid 19th century.
Visitors may tour the house, summer kitchen, workshop, and barn—which are filled with original and period items—as well as the garden.
Plans are underway this summer to begin reconstruction of the Basinger barn as the new Heritage Henter. Visitors may view, from a safe distance, the progress of that project.
“In 2022 we hosted many individuals, families and reunion groups, along with Bluffton first graders and some Ohio Northern students. We are truly a place for all ages,” reports Susie Gratz, Interpretation Committee Chair and Board member.
