Downtown, 19th century storefronts (more than a handful listed on the National Register of Historic Places) house coffee shops, friendly restaurants, antique shops and home décor boutiques. The town’s rich history is revealed at the nearby Nappanee Center — packed with fascinating memorabilia including a tribute to the area’s celebrated cartoonists and “Hoosier” cabinetry. Just outside of town, family-owned businesses thrive — cementing the area’s rich tradition as a center for entrepreneurial craftsmanship. The Shingle Shoppes Tour features dozens of stops that include furniture crafters, quilt shops and country stores. The 16-mile Locke Town Loop tours backcountry roads dotted with unique attractions. Nappanee’s beautifully preserved murals and storied architecture can be enjoyed with a leisurely stroll. Arriving in Amish Country from the south? Make the Nappanee Center your first stop. Here, you can stock up on brochures and detailed maps for back roads adventures including the Shingle Shoppes Tour and the nationally-recognized Heritage Trail — a free CD guides you along the 96-mile route through the heart of Amish Country.
