Amish Country Photo Shoot

Southern Holmes and northern Coshocton counties

If you would like to participate, please sign up on the Westbridge Meetup page so we have an idea how many will attend.

Jay Heiser was kind enough to organize this outing, and it appears Saturday, October 15 would a good day for a club shoot in Amish country. The fall colors were good on that day last year, and the previous weekend has multiple tourist events taking place, so let’s stick with the day as originally planned.

The day will start at The Farm at Walnut Creek. Arrive at 0830 for a 0900 2-hour horse drawn tour of an exotic animal farm staffed by Amish. http://thefarmatwalnutcreek.com/

Then we follow a specific route through an attractive part of Amish country to the busy little village of Charm and meet for lunch at a reserved table in Chalet in the valley for ‘Swiss & Austrian’ food. http://www.chaletinthevalley.com/

After lunch, we split up. I’ve prepared several alternatives: 

  1. Continue the Cleveland club's written tour NW through the busiest and most panoramic part of Amish country and Holmes County north of glacial moraine.
  2. Spend afternoon in Berlin shopping or going to Behalt.
  3. Go to the swap meet in Mount Hope.
  4. Explore the more remote and more heavily wooded and fall-colored unglaciated parts of southern Holmes and northern Coshocton counties. This is my personal recommendation, and I’ve put together a lot of suggestions on where to drive in a 10x10 mile square to explore quiet gravel roads, find corn shocks, and avoid traffic. Below is some of what I found at this time last year.

I grew up visiting this area, we have a place nearby, and my folks now live in Walnut Creek. I’m very familiar with the area, and I can answer questions and I’ll be around all that day in case anyone needs suggestions or assistance. I’ll be on vacation the previous week, and will try to find some corn shocks and put them on the map http://www.amishcountrymap.com/.

So who’s in for this one? Please let us know so Jay can finish planning by signing up HERE.
