Amish Acres, Nappanee, IN

Today we went to Nappanee, IN to a place called Amish Acres. It was a farm owned by 3 generations of Amish and sold in 1962 to a group to become an educational tool to teach people about the Amish. Of course, they have quilts for sale as well as quilts on display. They have a farm house, a grandparents' house, a barn, lots of animals as well as a theater and restaurant. They are relocating buildings from the area and have a relocated a school building as well as a number of outbuildings.



Here are a few of the animals we saw.



Amish Acres is having a scarecrow contest. These are just a few of the cuties hanging around along with lots of pumpkins and gourds.


Tomorrow we are going on a special kind of tour...the Quilt Gardens Tour where folks have actually planted flowers to form quilt blocks. We saw a couple today and tomorrow we will be going to Elkhart and Goshen for a few additional gardens.
More later from your Happy Travelers.
