This is a great place to spend a couple days. My DH took MIL and me and we all had a great time. The people are so sweet and friendly. Wear a comfy pair of shoes and enjoy yourselves.

Wonderful are for anything Amish/Mennonite.

I stayed at a La Quinta Hotel this past weekend....while there we saw 2 King Charles Spaniels, 1 Yorkie, 1 Black Lab, and 1 Heinz 57 variety!! Of course call ahead just to be sure.

I, too, love Shipsewana.

There are several communities in northeastern Ohio. Several years ago I travelled from New York to Cincinnati, and spent several days in Northeastern Ohio visiting most of the Amish communities. Be sure to check out Lehman's https://www.lehmans.com/ (your husband might enjoy it).

Sounds you're going to have more than enough to see and do (and buy!) with all this info. Just check when stores are open. In addition to Sundays, many shops are often also closed on Mondays.

About 30 minutes from Dayton is a town called Waynesville, OH ------ with a quilter's dream store called The Fabric Shack. It's a must see! The little town has fun antique shops, gift shops and great places to eat.

Come to Oregon. We have a large population of Mennonites near me....��

Thanks so much for all the input. We have booked a pet friendly motel in the heart of Berlin. Wish we could get to all the places suggested but we will do as many as possible...this trip.
Lindaschipper, do I detect someone else who stops and meets every dog she sees???
Madamkelly, we were in Oregon this summer along the Columbia River and fell in love with your area. Hope to get back again.
Cinjosie, in what direction is Waynesville? I can't find it but I am geographically challenged.
I'll let you know about our trip upon our return. Thanks again.

We just did part of this trip in Sept! We saw 3 baseball parks (Cincinnati, Cleveland and Pittsburgh) with a stop in Dayton (loved the AF museum!) and a side trip to Charm. It was lovely!
