Sassamansville

Sassamansville is a little village in northwest Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The community is located mainly in New Hanover Township but also in the Douglass Township and is served by the Boyertown Area School District. It is drained by the Swamp Creek into the Perkiomen Creek. The community is home to The Bauman Family fruit butter factory. Bauman’s started in 1892 when John W. Bauman purchased a cider press and operated it with the steam engine in his carriage manufacturing shop. Soon he began cooking apple butter for farmers of the community. They called it “lattwaerrick” in their Pennsylvania German dialect. It has been said that John used the apple butter recipe his wife, Catharine Wiegner, had received from her Schwenkfelder ancestors, who had settled in southeastern Pennsylvania alongside John’s Mennonite forefathers. As satisfied customers spread the word the business has continued to grow since the turn of the century. Their youngest of nine children, Stanley, became a partner in the business after he graduated from Ursinus College in 1928. Stanley then married Ruth Latshaw in 1941 and together they ran the business until Stanley’s death in 1977. Now in the third generation, Bauman’s Apple Butter Factory is still a family operation in the village of Sassamansville.
