Every other year Baumgardner/Baumgartner, etc.,, descendants hold an International
Reunion. The next reunion will be the last week-end of July, 2004. It’s held in a
different place each time. The group has traveled twice to Switzerland. Those attending
represent several Baumgardner/Baumgartner family lines.
Our next reunion will be a Swiss Heritage celebration held in Indiana. The date was
chosen to coincide with the annual Swiss Heritage Festival held in Berne, IN (Adams Co.,
IN). We hope we can connect with families whose forefathers settled near Berne. We
will spend Friday at Berne with a special catered dinner in the hopes that those who are
of Baumgartner heritage from Berne or may be visiting for the festival would join with us.
We’ll also have a special event in the restored Baumgartner church in Berne.
We would like to extend an invitation to anyone of Baumgardner/Baumgartner/etc. heritage
(especially those from Adams Co, IN) to join us for all or any part of our reunion.
It’s truly an international group as there are families from Switzerland who have
indicated they may attend. We will meet July 28 – Aug 1, 2004. We are staying at a
resort in North Central Indiana on the shore of Lake Wawasee near Syracuse, IN. We
have a great time together and share our family trees and heritage along with doing fun
activities. Please contact me directly if you would like to join us or know more about
it.
