Your special event deserves a special setting and Amish Acres can provide an alternative to stuffy ballrooms or crowded cookie-cutter conference rooms. Our facility can offer family-style meals, buffet luncheons, professional musical productions, private meeting rooms of various sizes, from 20 to 400 and 1,100 in aggregate, plus retail shops, and 130 rooms of lodging all in a beautiful and peaceful country setting unmatched by any other facility.

Your group will have access to two country-style inns, which include expanded breakfasts with your stay. Both inns offer fax, photocopying, meeting facilities, free USA Today and Chicago Tribunes on weekends, and local phone service. The staff at Amish Acres is prepared to make your retreat, advance, or corporate meeting a truly memorable experience.

Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, Amish Acres is an 80-acre historic resort dedicated to honoring the Amish way of life through historic interpretation. Visitors can enjoy farm wagon rides or guided tours, learning the whys and ways of Amish life.

The meeting rooms at Amish Acres can be rented for seminars, board meetings, retreats, church gatherings, family reunions, conferences, and trade shows. When using the facilities for multipurpose events, no room rentals are charged when a served or buffet meal is included for the group. Snacks and beverages are available for an extra fee.

Our professional staff can supply your corporation or group with a variety of electronic equipment such as VCR, TV, microphone, podium, spotlights, piano, stages, FAX machine, copy machine, flip charts, overhead projector, and screen. A small usage fee may be charged, depending on specific items needed. Advanced arrangements are required.

Our staff wants you to give us the opportunity to serve you and your group. Please call me at your earliest convenience and allow me to take you or your committee on a tour of our facility. I know you will be pleased.
