Schumacher Homestead will open for pre-eclipse weekend
Looking for something to do on the Saturday or Sunday before the upcoming solar eclipse? Step back in time on April 6 and 7 at the Schumacher Homestead at 8350 Bixel Road, Pandora, Ohio.
The 1843 restored Swiss Homestead will be open for self guided tours including the farmhouse, garden, workshop and barn. Activities for children will include games and toys, candle making, and corn husk dolls.
Open fire popcorn and lemonade will be served. Hours are 1-4 both days.
Docents will be available for questions. There is no entrance fee, but donations to support the Swiss Community Historical Society will be gratefully accepted.
