Imagine a distillery built in a women’s corset factory from the late 1800s. That’s the setting the food is a bit eclectic but good. Whiskey connoisseur’s will have a good time discerning what makes journeyman distillery so special. We like their charcuterie board and trout

1201 E 1000 NIf you like antiques and auctions you’ll love Wednesdays in Shipshewana. There is a antique and livestock auction and in the summer months a very large fleamarket. I believe the flea market runs five days a week in the summer. Many Amish sightseeing opportunities and shopping opportunities. It’s about a 1 Hour Dr. to the east
