    Love the history, the museum really allows you to see what life was like for the mennonite faith. Nice book shop.

    Love this...tells you all the things between Mennonite and the Amish and will give you a new found appreciation for the way they choose to live.

    Much of my extended family lives in Northern Indiana. Over the years of visiting them, I have seen several Amish families, farms and businesses. Last summer in an effort to learn more about their origins, beliefs and traditions my family visited this museum. It was really interesting to learn about their culture and history. I would recommend to anyone who is interested in learning more about the Amish and Mennonites.

    Exhibits and short videos describe the founding of the Anabaptist movement that eventually split into the Hutterites, Mennonites, and Amish. Their moves from Europe to the United States, Canada, and other countries are brought to life through narrations, "cobblestone streets," and a "boat ride across the Atlantic Ocean." The exhibits also describe daily life for current members of these faiths, and the informative docents love to answer questions.Young visitors are encouraged to find "clues" throughout the exhibits, and they will enjoy the simulation of a tornado. A good place to stop before exploring everything else in this area.

    touring the Menno-Hof is very enlightening. you will learn how the Amish-Mennonite religions came to be in this country. you'll see how they traveled to America via a short movie. very interesting, a must see.

    They presented a nice history lesson about where the Amish and Mennonite came from. My husband and I found it interesting that they came from the Anabaptist. They presented their beliefs in a nice way.

    Loved the volunteers who provided a bit of local history. Especially liked that they led us from one room to the other as the building was huge. Also learned of the settlements in other states.

    Just a great place for a family to visit, lot's to see and experience how the Amish live and earn a living.Great Restaurants and Motels. Everything is very clean. For a laid back get-a-way this is the place to go.However almost everything is closed on Sunday's

    This was very interesting to me because of my Amish ancestry. If you don't have a personal connection, maybe not quite as interesting. We spent lots of time there. I think it would be boring for kids though.

    Nice gift shop;we were able to purchase some hand-made items for souvenirs we did not see anywhere else. The people running the museum were very friendly.

    Tons of history about Amish in the past but NOTHING about Amish of today. Who cares about 1500's, how about 2014 ?? Nice gift shop and beautiful grounds.

    It was a last minute decision that brought me and my travelling companion into the heart of Amish country last week. This time of year is unbelievably beautiful with the trees all changing into splashes of bright reds, stunning oranges, yellows in a crazy quilt of beauty. The house is one of those that appears to be bigger on the inside than on the outside. It serves as a wonderful museum of the history of the anabaptist movements from it's beginnings in Europe, to coming to America. The tour guides are all volunteers, and most are members of one of the anabaptist faiths in the area. Our guide was James, a retired physician, who was Baptist, but had a great love and passion for the local community. There was also a Mennonite gentleman who was also very helpful in explaining hat it is like living in these communities. And the great care given to the youngest members of their communities, and to the oldest. They even had some lovely items in the gift shop, from local artisans including quilts, and some homemade buttery candy that was beyond amazing. It was a very well done, and curated display, and will give you a deep appreciation for what these groups have gone through in their history. Some of the subject matter addressed would not be suited for small children. but you will come away more deeply informed and appreciative of this fascinating portion of the history of religion in our amazingly diverse country.

    I'm really interested in the History of the Amish, and this is were I found the information I needed, just picking up new information is always exciting for me. I know about Martin Luther now and also the role he played in Christianity. I'm sure glad this place is around!!!
