A Town of Beauty and Hospitality — Shop for Unique Products and Locally Made Foods Play and Picnic — Downtown and in Nearby Parks Affectionately Known as the “Mayberry” of Northern Indiana Amish Country Middlebury is everyone’s idea of a small town: the neighborhood butcher, the Main Street hardware store, the knowledgeable shop owner, all busy serving residents and visitors alike in a thriving Main Street historic district. Amish and “English” come to Middlebury to do business, greet their neighbors and catch up on local happenings. A tight-knit bunch, the local merchants take pride in their quality merchandise — and in the hometown service they promise with every sale. Much of their trade comes from the plentiful repeat business of local farmers, factory hands and professional artisans. Visitors and locals alike seek the unique products and locally made foods — bread, pies, muffins, ice cream, cheese, flavored honey and smoked meats. All around town, familiar sights capture the small town charm: Amish women and children wading in the Little Elkhart at RiverBend Park, couples enjoying coffee and conversation at a downtown eatery and families picnicking in the gazebo at Memorial Park. The Pumpkinvine Nature Trail winds its way through the picturesque town of Middlebury. The tree-lined route provides a tranquil greenway perfect for cycling, jogging and casual strolls. The trail will make its way to nearby Shipshewana in late 2009, ultimately transforming this once bustling rail line into a 17-mile four season recreational park.
