Things to Do in Shipshewana
The top attractions in Shipshewana are the local, traditional things. Head down to the enormous flea market where shoppers can find aisles and aisles of vendors, antiques, and vintage items. Admire over 30 hand-painted quilt murals on the LaGrange County Barn Quilt Trail or join the Walldogs Trail where visitors can see hand painted murals that were created in 2014 when a group of international painters and mural artists came to the town to paint murals all over. Known locally as Walldogs.
This is Amish Country, so when in Rome..take a group guided tour in a horse and carriage to visit a working farm, shops, and homes. Another way to learn more about Amish people is to visit one of their homes for a meal. There are guides that those interested can make reservations through. It is an incredibly eye opening way to learn about Shipshewana's heritage and actually get to know some Amish people.
Enjoy local tasty offerings like cheese from Heritage Ridge Creamery and cinnamon caramel donuts from Rise n Roll bakery or join in local fun at the Shipshewana Corn Maze.
