Area Information Getting Here............................................. 8 You can experience a simpler time when you travel the Amish backroads of LaGrange County and Shipshewana, Indiana. Calendar of Events.................................. 10 We are a place where 200 years ago, German & Dutch descendants migrated to the area so they could maintain their simple ways, and today, they want to share those simple ways with you. Here, the home of the third largest Amish community in the United States, you’ll touch hand-sewn quilts; see Clydesdales pulling plows; taste the freshness of fruit pie with the berries picked as recently as this morning. You’ll hear an Amish father speak to his straw-hatted son in his lilting Pennsylvania Dutch language; you’ll smell the expanse of wide-open spaces and natural joy. And somewhere along the way, you’ll realize that while you don’t have to actually be part of this culture, you can be inspired by their way of life. You’ll re-discover those firmly-held values that family is more important than funds, that rest is as sacred as a scarlet sunset, and the best memories are made with the people you love the most. There’s no need to travel back in time. Just journey here. Charlie Daniels Band May 24th Michael W.

Make a Super Sunday Memory When was the last time you grew quiet enough to hear a bee buzz from one flower to the next?... … When you made up stories with your kids, or took a Sunday drive, turning off the cell phone and television? When was the last time a lasting memory was born from a simple moment? Shipshewana and LaGrange County can help, especially on a Sunday. In keeping with local religious tradition, most shops and restaurants are closed so business-owners can play and stay with their own families. That means you can venture into other parts of the area, enjoy snacks from Saturday’s grocery visit, or carry a picnic and Frisbee to a local park. Hopefully, this slower pace on one day of the week will refresh your spirit and restore your belief that the most cherished vacation souvenirs aren’t “things.” LaGrange County & Shipshewana: Where Memories Await.
