The Background of Sweet Corn Festival Millersport Heritage Village

In 1996, it was the 50th Anniversary of the Millersport Lions Club. It was decided on the anniversary that they wanted to take on different projects to save local landmarks of interest. The idea of this was to renovate these buildings and put them into public use. This project is an ongoing project and it is now known as the Heritage Village. This village is open to the public during Festival week. It is also available for tour groups as well. If you wish to make a booking, it is advised to contact Deb Gant by phone or e-mail.

Below are a couple of examples of some renovation projects.

Walnut Township Hall

• Donated by the Walnut Township Trustees in 1998
• Moved by Robert & Bob Slater and the Stebelton & Ruble Steel Co
• This building was built between 1900 and 1910 and originally stood on a lot on Third Street in the Village of Thurston between the Toledo and Ohio Central Railroad tracks and High Street
• This building was built with a set of double doors on the front because it housed a fire wagon when it was used as a firehouse.
• The contents are original to the building

Slater Filling Station

• Donated by the Charles & Ethel Slater Family
• Moved from a site north of State Route 79 on State Route 37 at the Slater Homestead in 1997
• Moved in sections and reassembled on this site
• Moved by Robert & Bob Slater and the Stebelton & Ruble Steel Co
• The contents are original to the building

About the Sweet Corn

Sweet Corn is a popular vegetable the world over. Enjoyed by practically every country in the world, it is very popular as it is versatile. It is perfect for stews, sides, BBQ, and even as a snack by itself! In fact, here are some of our favorite sweet corn recipes! Sweet corn has been grown around the fields of Millersport for hundreds of years. As it is the staple crop in Millersport, it was only natural that the Millersport Lions Club decided to name their annual event after it back in 1946.
