Amish Acres is a tourist attraction in Nappanee, Indiana created from an 80 acres (320,000 m2) Old Order Amish farm. The farm was purchased in October 1968 at auction from the Manasses Kuhns’ estate. The farm was homesteaded by Moses Stahly in 1873. Moses was the son of pioneer Christian Stahly who emigrated from Germany with his widowed mother Barbara and three brothers to the southwest corner of Elkhart County in 1839; making them, perhaps, the earliest Amish settlers in Indiana.
Amish Acres opened to the public in June 1970 after more than a year of restoration. Today the complex includes the original nine buildings, two relocated log buildings, ice house, mint distillery, maple sugar camp, apple cider mill, one-room school, blacksmith shop. Three bank barns and the Round Barn Theatre have also been moved to the property. The original farmstead is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Amish Acres features guided house and farm tours, a narrated wagon ride, domestic craft demonstrations, a 400 seat family style restaurant, a 200 seat Barn Loft Grill, 400 seat repertory musical theatre, the 64 room Inn at Amish Acres and 66 room Nappanee Inn.
