Amish Settlement Take a driving tour through Wayne County's Amish Community. Wayne County is home to Indiana's newest settlement of Amish families migrating from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Currently, there are thirty-eight Amish families. They have built three one room school houses and host a variety of businesses including two restaurants, wooden lawn furniture, kitchen cabinets, greenhouses, fresh produce and Bison meat. Their buggies are a little different than the traditional all black buggy.
Local buggies have gray vinyl tops, headlights and flashing tail lights.
Exhibits are changed monthly. The Gaar Mansion is a beautiful example of Victorian architecture. Gaar Mansion Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Gaar Mansion was built in 1876 for Industrialist Abram Gaar and his wife Agnes. The mansion also features unique amenities for a 19th century home - central heating, indoor plumbing, and an intercom system throughout. Group tours by appointment.
