Amish Acres

5 Mins Read

NOTE: Amish Acres closed at the end of 2019. It was sold and reopened on May 15, 2020, as The Barns at Nappanee. They plan to focus on events, festivals, and food. I’ll write a separate page for the new business when I have a chance to visit.

Amish Acres is a historic farm and park located in Nappanee, Indiana. It’s centered around the Stahly-Nissley-Kuhns Farmstead, which was built in 1873. The farm was purchased in 1968 and Amish Acres opened to the public in 1970 in order to enlighten and educate outsiders about the Amish way of life.

On July 25, 1819, at Pantano de Vargas, troops led by Simón Bolívar confronted Spanish royalist troops who were trying to reach Bogotá, which was lightly defended. Even though they were exhausted after crossing a mountain pass, they defeated the royalists. This victory was followed by another at Puente de Boyacá just two weeks later, securing independence from Spain for Nuevo Granada (now Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama).
