🕯️ THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE 2026 LANTERN TOUR A SUCCESS! 🕯️

The 2026 Lantern Tour at Schoenbrunn Village has come to an end, and we want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to everyone who helped make these special evenings possible!

To our incredible volunteers, staff, and docents — thank you for the countless hours of preparation, the long evenings, the hard work, and your dedication to bringing Schoenbrunn’s history to life by lantern light. Events like this simply would not be possible without your time, energy, and passion for Ohio history.

And to our wonderful community and everyone who attended, thank you for supporting Schoenbrunn Village and helping make the 2026 Lantern Tour such a success. Your support helps us preserve and share the story of Ohio’s first settlement, schoolhouse, and church.

Schoenbrunn is more than a historic site — it is a place where our community comes together to remember, learn, and connect with the past. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who continues to support this important piece of Ohio history.

From all of us at Schoenbrunn Village — THANK YOU! ❤️🕯️
