The Historic Hertzler House provides a glimpse of 19th century midwestern lifestyle in Clark County, Ohio through the 1854 home of Daniel and Catherine Hertzler, Mennonites from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, who were prominent citizens.  Hertzler amassed a fortune with an entrepreneurial spirit building a grist mill, a saw mill, a brick distillery, and a whiskey distillery.  He farmed over 1,000 acres and was a money lender.  The house was designed for convenience and furnishings reflect the pre-Civil War period.  There are a few pieces from the Herzler family and the remainder are antiques or reproductions of the period.
