2024 Heritage village Schedule of Events

WATCH HISTORY COME ALIVE!

Step back in time at the "Living History Village", as we now bring more history to you like never before! We have expanded our timeline and now bring you living history from the 1800's to mid-1900's! Now located at Hedges Boyer Park's Lower Level in Tiffin, Ohio, our reenactors have been demonstrating their decorative arts for 40+ years! Take in a vintage baseball game while enjoying period music while tasting delicious food, some cooked over an open fire, then shop for vintage and early American arts and crafts. Our vendors feel workmanship and artistry is not just a token from the past. So come watch masterful craftsmen and craftswomen in action! Huzzah!

"Hands On Arts" lets your experience the cultural pleasures of our early American ancestors at no charge. With day long activities, you can see what life was like 200 years ago! Cannon fire every hour on the hour will help you keep track of time while enjoying an entertaining time with your family.

Help celebrate Tiffin's history with Abraham Lincoln! Relax with the civil war music of Steve and Lisa Ball, along with viewing the Seneca County Historical Society's Tiffin History Boards, on exhibit!


Entry to this area, and the entire festival is FREE!
A big thank you to our friends at The National Machinery Foundation for your help in keeping this long standing area accessible to everyone!
