The Round Barn Theatre
Nappanee, Indiana
Every year, about the first week of August, Amish Acres plays host to the Amish Acres Arts and Crafts Festival, located on the grounds of a working Amish farm. My first outdoor festival, where I exhibited my artwork was at this show in 1976. It was located in the apple orchard back then and long before the Round Barn Theatre was a reality. I exhibited at the show 30 times.
I painted several paintings from around Amish Acres, including the Round Barn after it was erected. Other paintings were the Meat and Cheese Shop, Restaurant Barn and the Farm House.
At one time, many years ago, Amish Acres Art Festival was in the top 5 art festivals in the Country, I have exhibited and sold my artwork here for more than 30 years.
