Deshler
Generosity
allowed the Village of Deshler to take off, and
that generous spirit lives on today in the
community. Way back in 1870, the founding father of the village, John
Deshler, offered to donate the ground needed by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to lay its
tracks. The
B&O favored the village of Belmore because
it had higher ground. Deshler’s offer swayed the Railroad to come through Deshler
and allowed his namesake town to grow.
The rails still sing today in Deshler.
Deshler
– “The Corn City” - is a bustling
community, as active as the trains that roll
through the village limits all day, every day.
Crossroads Park welcomes train
enthusiasts from all over the world.
The convergence of rail lines is special
and each day visitors take it all in.
The streets are welcoming with great
architecture and friendly people.
The
Bavarian Haus on State Route 18 brings in
nationally known Polka bands that draw crowds
from all around the tri-state area.
The facility also hosts a Schuetzenfest
each year in June.
The Deshler Schuetzenfest is a weekend
highlighting the German heritage of the area.
A shooting contest is held along with
Polka bands throughout the weekend.
Great German foods also tempt the
appetites of those enjoying a great time.
Deshler
is part of the Patrick Henry School District.
The elementary students attend class in
Deshler before moving on to middle and high
school. Deshler lives and breathes for its children, working hard on
community projects to give their youngsters
facilities they can enjoy.
Deshler values their future.
