German Village Haus und Garten Tour

German Village Haus und Garten Tour

It's always interesting to see how people restore old homes. We are given the opportunity to take…read morean intimate look at a half dozen or so homes in the German Village part of town. The German Village Haus und Garten Tour is held the last Sunday of every June. It is sponsored by the German Village Society (and of course, the gracious folks who open their homes to the public). Tickets can be purchased in advance. But keep in mind, walking tours are available practically year round. Just pop into the German Village Meeting Haus, 588 South Third Street, to catch a 12-minute video and pick up a guide to the historic district. The 233-acre neighborhood is the largest, privately-funded historic district in the country. It's a neat place to wander around.

Having just moved from a historical neighborhood that has annual home tours (I even hosted one…read moretime), I totally get how much time and effort going into organizing an event such as this, let alone the amount of time and effort the actual home owner has to invest. As for the home tour here in German Village, it was very nice. Having friends that used to live in the village, I've had the opportunity to visit several of the area houses during and after their transformation... I love the historical feel and the effort made to preserve the essence of the area!! Why only 3 stars??? Well, as I mentioned at the start of this, I've done this sort of thing before. I love the intent of the fund-raising activity, but I feel the price of $20 per person is ... a BIT much. Had it not been for Groupon offering $15 for TWO tickets, I would not have attended. So glad I did not shell out $40 to stand in line or well over an hour at each house. They're nice and all, but way to crowded. And to stand in line for that long to only see 2-3 rooms on average in most houses..... When I did this a few years ago, I totally loved the experience of meeting and talking with all the people who had actually paid money to come look at my house. It made all the work and effort worth it!! Here in German village, I met only one single owner... REALLY??? Anyway, it was a good onetime experience, as I will probably not attend this again.

Went spelunking in this Ohio cave, this was an amazing experience. I'm currently reading this book…read moreabout Floyd Collins, and his adventures in caves. It's got this passage in it that reads.. "staying underground for days at a time. Often they would bring out Indian relics, which Turner packed in boxes and sent away. As the weeks passed, they became more and more enthusiastic about their work. Turner was apparently well satisfied with the results. At first they talked freely about their explorations, showing us maps Turner had made of the passages they had surveyed. But then a change occurred. No longer did Turner permit us to see his maps. His survey notes were kept under lock. When they talked about their work, the conversation became guarded. From that time forward, everything was secret. Ordinarily when men make a discovery, they are eager to let the world know about it. Why the secrecy? Floyd and Turner had undoubtedly discovered something worthwhile. This was evident from their actions and enthusiasm. It seemed that they should have been proud to show their discoveries to other people. But cavers such as Floyd and Edmund Turner are not ordinary people. A cave explorer goes through unbelievably difficult places, risking his life to reach some remote passage where no man has set foot before. And once in a lifetime, with luck, he makes a truly outstanding discovery. Perhaps it is a rare and beautiful formation. The remoteness adds to its beauty. It has never been seen by any human being; maybe no one should ever see it after him. He thinks of the commercialized caves, the crowds of tourists laughing, dropping candy wrappers and cigarette butts, looking for every opportunity to pick up a souvenir or scratch initials on the rocks. Is it worthwhile? Are people so important? There below ground, hidden and silent, hallowed by the absence of man, somehow things seem right as they are." I couldn't agree more with how this business operates, I wish them nothing but success as cave owner's and tour guides. If you get the chance to travel through this amazing cave, it's a must do.

A unique and amazing tour! It is family owned and run. They are very friendly and helpful. They…read moreoffered us suggestions for other things to do while in the area and places to eat. You will tour a primitive cave, not one carved out with walkways by man. You will crawl and climb your way though while the guides explain and point out neat features throughout the cave. You will get dirty so bring a change of clothes and a trash bag! Definitely recommend for a more adventurous journey.

They allow tours right now for 5 bucks each person. The place was very cool and they provide great…read moreinformation. Parking was easy because there are garages and street parking with no meters. The staff was nice and the place had a cool creepy vibe. Not sure if it's truly haunted but sure looked scary inside and out. Right now they have the haunted house and I recommend doing the jump the line. But their scarers did great and it was for sure worth the money just to go inside the cells and layout of this historic and troubled jail! Thanks

This is about the actual jail but of course they have shut off posting so I'm posting here and to…read morebe honest they can remove it all they want because this review is getting posted everywhere! The county jails and prisons in this state are horrible! Yes I know people are in jail for reasons BUT to be ignored by staff, skipped medication (if given at all), Unusable toilets, no heat and no thermals.... is asking for family members to get sick and possibly die. The C.O.s talk to the inmate as if they are dirt (can't say dogs because dogs in pounds are treated better) Phone and visit screens are the worst but yet they have no problem taking families money. Jails and prisons get checks for housing people but yet do not take care of the people or the buildings. God forbid someone has an accident or mentally unstable and smear it on the walls.. C.O.s go in with Hazmat suits but force the inmates to clean it and maybe get a pair of gloves (so let's share the Hep. ) EVERY jail and prison in Ohio needs to be looked over by the Feds! Anyone that has been locked up or family members of someone who has been locked up in Ohio should be contacting the news, health dept, entire staff of the jails/prisons along with other outside agencies! Regardless of why they are incarcerated they are still HUMAN BEINGS and should be treated with some kind of dignity. Absolutely disgusting!
