History of Menno-Hof

More and more people came to the tourist town of Shipshewana in the decade of the ‘70s due to its huge flea market. There was a growing consensus among Mennonite groups of Northern Indiana to have a place to tell our story. In 1986 with the help of many volunteer workers, Menno-Hof had a massive barn-raising to build the beautiful structure housing the Amish-Mennonite story. The new facility opened in May of 1988. Menno-Hof is a non-profit organization operated by a board of Amish, Beachy Amish, Conservative Mennonite and Mennonite Church USA members.
