The Swiss Community Historical Society opened its Schumacher Homestead to the public on Sept. 26. The event offered a glimpse of farm life in rural Bluffton-Pandora.
In addition Maple Crest gathered an impressive collection of antique farm equipment. Added to the mix was an old-fashioned wheat threshing demonstration.
Ivan Friesen pulls a loaf of bread out of the outdoor oven and smells its aroma. The bread-baking demonstration was part of the Sept. 26 Bluffton Fall Festival activities at the Schumacher homestead. More photots are below.
The Bluffton Turned Goods was established sometime around 1875 along the line of the Nickel Plate Railroad with a switch-track leading into the works. (This was directly east of the railroad on East College Avenue.)
This building was the same one used by the Bluffton Cement Block Company later. Two very active men who shouldered the responsibility of this business were Cal Balmer born in Allen County, and A. B. Swinehart.
