Thanks for the warm welcome! The residence of the small town of Shipshewana are 50% Amish....just beautiful country! We have over 100 speciality shops and the largest flee market in the mid-west from May 1th through October 30th. Additionally, Shipshewana has antique and collectable auctions every Wednesday, and an animal auction every Friday year-round. Our mercantile building is the largest stick built building in the US (built entirely by Amish and featured on CNN). Indiana is the third largest Amish settlement in the US. A couple of times a year there are charity auctions where Amish quilts are sold for very reasonable prices. You can all learn more at www.shipshewana.com. Hope to see you there!
