Authentic Amish




Nappanee, Indiana, is rich with the Amish culture. The local grocery store even has a covered area for parking horse and buggies. We enjoyed a "threshers" dinner under the hand-hewn timbers of the Restaurant Barn, a family style feast of Amish country favorites. This feast is reminiscent of the hearty fare cooked up by the women in the wood fired stoves, bake ovens, and smoke houses of the host farm in time for the noontime break in the threshing day. After dinner we went to the Round Barn Theatre for a fun 50's musical show called "The Taffetas."
