Visiting Shipshewana is like taking a step back in time to a quieter, simpler way of life. This small town has a population of just over 500 people and is at the very center of Northern Indiana's Amish and Mennonite communities. Quaint and picturesque, this rural community has much to offer in the way of shopping and local heritage. One of Shipshewana's claims to fame is the Shipshewana Flea Market. It's reported to be the largest outdoor flea market in all the Midwest and features 1,000 plus vendors hawking their wares. The flea market opens May-October on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but livestock and horse auctions are held year round! This village offers plenty of small town charm with its appealing downtown area and winding back country roads dotted with cultivated fields and charming Amish homesteads. Buggy and trolley tours abound and whisk visitors away to a time and place where livestock care, home cooking, and quilt making keep neighbors busy all day long. Over 50 stores line the streets of downtown Shipshewana and offer shoppers a wide array of goods, including handmade linens, homemade peanut butter and pies, handcrafted furniture, and antiques. Family style meals are served at the Blue Gate Restaurant, where families enjoy feasting on tables laden with Amish specialties, and the Menno-Hof Museum helps visitors to understand the histories of the Amish and Mennonite people.

Shipshewana is defined by its surrounding Mennonite and Amish communities, and the small town charm and traditional culture of the region draw thousands of visitors to the town each year. The religious heritage of residents directly impacts the culture, economics and government of the town. The Amish and Mennonite peoples trace their religious origins to 16th century Central and Western Europe. The Amish of Shipshewana are descendants Swiss immigrants who fled Europe in the early 18th century to escape religious persecution.
