We will head over to Shipshewana for a memorable experience visiting the heart of Amish Country. Our escorted tour offers personal details of growing up in such a unique area. The tour begins with 15-minute Amish Buggy ride in downtown Shipshewana. Following the ride, we will visit a buggy shop where we will learn how they make the buggies and the differences between them. We will then stop at a popcorn farm/stand to learn about the farm and get a taste of their very own popcorn. We will also visit the Amish Bakery for shopping
and free samples of their famous donuts. If time allows, we will stop at an authentic Amish furniture store. Our final stop will be at an Amish home where they will prepare a traditional thresher meal for us. None of us will leave hungry! Don’t miss out on this memorable experience!
