Sauder Village welcomes Dr. Kiersten F. Latham as the organization’s new President and Chief Executive Officer. Kiersten succeeds Debbie Sauder David who has retired after 22 years of service to Sauder Village, Ohio’s largest living history destination.

Kiersten has spent her career working and teaching at all kinds of museums – history, art, anthropology, natural history, science, archives, and living history. She has extensive experience in many facets of museum administration including interpretation and collections, and is a published author in the cultural heritage field. She even worked one summer as a costumed interpreter and in the collections department at Sauder Village.
