Summer open houses at Schumacher Homestead began last Saturday.
“Are you a ghost?” a little girl once asked Schumacher Homestead volunteer Susie Gratz, who was dressed in the somber black cap, long full dress, and apron worn by women in the Bluffton-Pandora area Swiss Settlement in the mid 1800s.
Gratz assured the youngster that she was real and alive, and could show her how families in the area lived more than 150 years ago.
