Amish Acres Restaurant Barn
Amish Acres Restaurant Barn
Nappanee, Indiana
The first outdoor Art Festival I exhibited in was in Nappanee, Indiana, about 30 minutes from where I lived at the time in 1976. It was an exciting time, as it was held in the apple orchard of a real working Amish Farm.
I exhibited at Amish Acres Arts and Craft Festival for 30 years and made a habit of eating at their Restaurant Barn on the last of the four-day show, before tearing down and packing up my display. They are famous for their Amish Family-style “Threshers Dinner”.
I painted the Restaurant Barn painting, as well as 3 other places on the grounds. Other paintings were: The Amish Farm House, The Round Barn Theatre and the Meat and Cheese shop.

Amish Acres Round Barn Theatre
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.
