This building, named for Mrs. Charles Mansfield, is the only structure native to the AuGlaize Village site. It is a classic example of a 1920 livestock barn. Currently, it contains the Historical Society's "Street of Shops". This street contains eight shops, including the 1906 Blosser dentist office which was moved intact from Edgerton, Ohio; a cobbler (shoemaker); a printer's shop; weaving shop; a coopers shop; a broom factory and a brickyard display. This building also houses the Hall of Appliances, Ice Cream Shop and the Concession Stand.

Museum Street of Shops

Entering the Street of Shops is like walking into the past. The brick lined streets wind through a labyrinth of buildings and shops. Browsing through the open stores and businesses is truly a treat for all ages. Visit the Blosser dentist office and see how surprisingly advanced early 20th century dentistry really was.

Early Dentist Office:

Dr. Emery Blosser's Dentist Office from Edgerton, Ohio is one of the most intriguing displays in the village. Dr. Blosser began practicing his trade in 1903. In his office you will see a complete X Ray camera, manually operated drills, and other implements of dentistry.

Hall of Appliances

In the Hall of Appliances you will see all the modern conveniences that Grandma and Great Grandma used to make daily living easier for them and the family. From the Kitchen to the washroom you will see newfangled electric washtubs, and other devices that will give you a refreshing appreciation for home appliances of today!
