Shipshewana

Our town neighbors the third-largest Amish Community in the United States! This community offers a wide range of wonderful activities for travelers and thrives on tourism to support its local economy. We highly encourage you to check out their delicious foods, masterfully crafted goods, and warm hospitality! For specific recommendations, please don't hesitate to contact any of the local families. Or check out the bride's childhood favorite, Davis Mercantile, for wonderful shops, a historic carousel, and don't forget to try a honey stick!

Millrace Canal Trail

Step into our shoes and walk the trails where we take our evening strolls! The Millrace Canal Trail is a scenic trail that passes through some of Goshen's most beautiful landscapes. We are often seen walking, riding bikes, and enjoying the parks on this lovely trail. This trail features paved biking and walking paths, gravel trails, open fields, and natural wooded areas. Bonus points if you can find some of the beautiful spots where we took our engagement photos!

Goshen Farmers Market

Just down the road from our home is Goshen's year-round Farmer's Market! On Saturday from 8 am-1 pm or Tuesday from 3 pm-7 pm, enjoy the bountiful harvests of local farmers, shop for handmade goods, enjoy some coffee, and try some Amish delights without needing to travel outside of Goshen! If you're lucky, you may even get to see the folk band that frequently plays during the market! During the summer, the market thrives, so make sure to check it out!
