Centreville Settlement, Inc. is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization dedicated to the preservation of the architectural and cultural heritage of the German-American farming community in the Centerville area.
In the 1840’s and 50’s, immigrants fled Germany to escape war and the economic hard times. Many Saxon Germans of that time settled here in Centerville Township. Their fifth and sixth generation children still remain on the original farms using original buildings for much of their original purpose. Centerville Township is a unique time capsule of architecture, culture and traditions of the early settlers.
