Ceremony will mark Hillsboro museum gift
There will be a brief signing ceremony at 3 p.m. Thursday in the second parlor of the William F. Schaeffler House Museum.
Glen and Susan Kliewer of Hillsboro and Hillsboro Mayor Delores Dalke will sign a deed of gift conveying the historic Heinrich F. Bartel house to the city's museums.
Heinrich Bartel, a Polish Mennonite, built this interesting house in 1879 north of what would become Hillsboro.
The relocation and restoration of the structure will direct attention to Polish Mennonite settlements north of Hillsboro in the French Creek area and the Johannesthal and Bruderthal settlements.
