歷史上的索達村(Sauder
Village)
地方性遺產
假如您想要進行時光旅行，回到1830年代並看看當時的殖民生活，那麼您應該參觀位於俄亥俄州，歷史上著名的索達村。村內的人會穿上那個時期的衣服，而村內的建築物則依當時的建築風格修復。索達村這個主意是由當地的農村男孩索達(Erie
J. Sauder)提供的，他於1934年創立了索達木工工藝公司。
索達創辦這所村莊的主意是受到了他的親戚的啟發，而他的親戚曾幫忙解決俄亥俄的大黑沼澤。雖然俄亥俄在1803年時已經成為美國境內一州，但只有少數的歐洲殖民願意入住潮濕、樹木叢生的西北荒野，又名大黑沼澤。直到1830年代，一群來自門諾宗(Mennonite)及阿曼派(Amish)的人決定要搬到該區並在此處開始他們的新生活，藉以躲避歐洲家鄉的宗教迫害。多年來，這些來自門諾宗及阿曼派的人，與其他的殖民共同工作、開挖壕溝及清除樹木，直至大黑沼澤枯竭並變成該州最棒的農地。
今天的索達村是一個非營利性的活的博物館及教育複合中心，裡面包含了30多棟建築物，向來訪者展示俄亥俄州於19世紀時的鄉村生活。11間工藝品店的工匠會示範當時的行業：玻璃吹製、製陶、紡織及編織、製作掃帚、木工工藝、製作籃子、印刷及縫製棉被。
If you want to travel back in time and see what settlers in the 1830s looked like and how they lived, then you should visit Historic Sauder Village in Ohio. Complete with people dressed in period clothing and authentically restored buildings, Sauder Village was the idea of local farm boy Erie J. Sauder, founder of the Sauder Woodworking Company in 1934.
Sauder was inspired to create this village by his relatives, who had helped settle Ohio's Great Black Swamp. Although Ohio became a state in 1803, few European settlers considered entering the damp, forested wilderness of northwestern Ohio, known as the Great Black Swamp, until the 1830s. It was then that people from the Mennonite and Amish religions decided to move to this region to start a new life away from the religious persecution in their European homeland. For years the Amish and the Mennonites, along with other settlers, worked, digging ditches and clearing away trees, until they had drained the Great Black Swamp and turned it into the state's best farmland.
Today, Sauder Village is a nonprofit living history museum and educational complex, with more than 30 buildings that show how life was in rural Ohio during the 19th century. Artisans in 11 craft shops demonstrate trades of that period: glassblowing, pottery making, spinning and weaving, broom making, woodworking, basket making, printing, and quilting.
