Group & Meeting Planners
There's a reason Elkhart and LaGrange counties are one of the Midwest's top group destinations! As close as we are to Chicago, just 100 miles east, northern Indiana's Amish Country is a world away from the bustle and noise of urban America. At the renowned group tour stops of Nappanee, Middlebury and Shipshewana you'll get a taste of relaxed small-town life with a distinctly Amish flair. After all, our counties are home to one of the largest concentrations of Old Order Amish and Mennonites in the Western Hemisphere. Amish traditions and values are tightly woven into the economic, social and cultural fabrics of our towns, villages and countryside.
Five Reasons Amish Country Is Perfect For Meetings And Group Tours
Meet the Amish - Museums, living history exhibits and historical landmarks tell the unique story of the Amish and Mennonite people and their journey to Northern Indiana. You also can mingle with the Amish on village streets and on back-road rambles.
One-of-a-Kind Shopping Finds - Our town and farmstead shops showcase unique Amish creations ranging from heirloom-quality hand-made furniture and crafts, to custom art, collectibles and house wares. Most of our shops are family-owned, and they tend to treat customers like cherished friends. Many offer samples, demonstrations and friendly personalized service.
Fabulous Family-Style Cooking - Save room for pie! That won’t be easy, though, as you feast on the homemade, hearty fare served family style in big portions at famous restaurants and at Amish homes set among working farms. Group tours are greeted warmly at our Amish restaurants, and you can expect the service to be friendly and efficient.
Special Stays & Names You Know - Amish Country inns range from unique hotels in the peaceful countryside to bed and breakfasts in historic houses along main streets and scenic back roads. Our national-chain hotels and motels welcome large groups with genuine Hoosier hospitality and expert, personalized service. Most also offer state-of-the-art meeting rooms and business tools ranging from wireless internet to package pick-up.
Fun and Festivals - From quilt auctions to RV Rallys, from national entertainment stars to polished stage productions, Amish Country hosts a glittering menu of music, shows, festivals and storytelling gatherings that are perfect for group tours. Each Amish Country community also welcomes you to family fun events ideal for reunions and gatherings.
