About the Amish:

Amish families still remain faithful to their religion. You will see these people still wearing handmade clothing, long beards, and riding along the roadsides in their horse and buggy.

Mennonites:

The Mennonites broke off from the Amish. The Mennonites now drive motor vehicles, rather than horse and buggy. The two separate themselves by wearing differing clothing, i.e. the Mennonite women will wear white head coverings, while the Amish women will wear black. Still, the two remain to agree on particular religious beliefs. Their culture and religions background is to be respected. Therefore, if you travel to Mennonite and Amish lands take care not to use profane languages, or act in ways that would demonstrate disrespect to their beliefs.

Shipshewana:

Shipshewana is a place to visit if you want to surround yourself by Mennonites and Amish people; horse and buggies, flea markets, horse auctions, farmland, etc.

The area is a dry County, which means the stores do not sell alcohol beverages.

Shipshewana has one of the largest flea markets in the world. At Shipshewana flea market, you should prepare to spend at least three or four days. It will take you this long to walk through the majority of vendors’ booths at the flea market. In addition, horse auctions are on site, which you will see Clydesdales, stallions, farm horses, as well as a variety of other farm animals auctioned. Many of the horses are auctioned at a phenomenal price.
