These Pictures were taken in German Village in Columbus Ohio at Schmidt’s Sausage Haus und Restaurant, which has been operating since 1886. Starting as a Meat Packing Plant, It eventually moved into Concession around the 1920’s with a booth at the Ohio State Fair, making it one of the oldest concession sellers still in the fair. The restaurant itself was opened in 1967.
