Historic Lyme Village in Bellevue is home to more than a dozen buildings from the early 19th century, built on land once claimed by Connecticut.
Most of the buildings at the historic site are authentic structures that have been moved from their original Firelands sites to allow them to be preserved, restored and displayed together, Rife said.
Other village buildings include the Rose Tavern, built in 1830 near the town of Fremont. The rough-hewn log building shows the kind of welcome travelers of the day could expect, including beds that would have been shared with strangers for overnight accommodations. Merry Schoolhouse was built in 1864 in Oxford Township in Erie County. It was used until 1935 and was moved to Lyme Village in 1991. Visitors will see and learn about learning and teaching in a one-room schoolhouse.The Biebricher Barn has special decorative features marking it as a “centennial barn,” built in 1876 when the United States celebrated its 100th birthday. Inside, displays show how crops were handled 100 years ago.
Most of the guides at Lyme Village are teens and young adults, an encouraging thing for us old-timer history buffs to see. That means time is limited to experience the village this summer — regular tours will end on Sept. 3 as guides return to school.
