DAY 2: Early AM Flight, Lake Michigan, Old Lighthouse Museum and Amish Home Thresher Dinner

Fly direct on Alaska Airlines to Chicago O'Hare where we will board our company bus and travel along the Lake Michigan shoreline to the Old Lighthouse Museum with 7 rooms of Great Lakes maritime history. Just a short stroll away is the lighthouse itself. Built in 1904, it is the only public operating lighthouse in Indiana. The elevated walkway, known as the “catwalk,” was used by lighthouse keepers for 29 years to access the light tower.

This morning, explore nearly 700 open-air booths on 40 acres at the Midwest's Largest Flea Market! Find bargains on home décor, clothing, produce, plants, tools, crafts, books, and everything imaginable. Move from ring to ring, catching the best antiques, primitives, art, glassware, pottery, tools, estate items, and books as six to ten auctioneers simultaneously sell inside the Shipshewana Antique Building. There are also food vendors (including amazing fried hand pies). If you’re looking for artisan-made products, Amish cottage shops, quilts, and quilting supplies — Shipshewana has plenty!

This afternoon, a local step-on guide joins us on the bus to share the Amish culture while viewing Quilt Gardens and local crafters. Our show starts at the Blue Gate Theater at 4:00pm. After the show, join us for their dinner buffet featuring Blue Gate Fried Chicken, slow-cooked roast beef, and other homestyle Amish entrées. (B,D)

DAY 4: Lehman Hardware, Warther Famous Carvings, Button House and Ohio Amish

With 160 miles of scenic views and things to do, the Amish Country Byway offers some of our region’s best attractions. Our next 24 hours will include local food and culture at many unique stops. You won’t want to miss tasting your way through one of the famous cheese huts or strolling downtown Berlin’s shops.

What started as a small hardware store serving the local Amish has grown into something much bigger than founder Jay Lehman ever dreamed. Gathering four pre-Civil War era buildings under one soaring roof, it’s a place to embrace the past and reminisce through thousands of products — all while browsing Jay’s antique collection throughout the store. The full shopping experience is nearly a quarter-mile long!

Born in 1885 to Swiss immigrant parents, Ernest “Mooney” Warther began his carving legacy at the age of 5. His legacy left over 100 intricate pieces that will amaze and delight you. Explore the Warther family residence, Swiss-styled gardens, historic “Calico Ditch,” 3-acre park, and Frieda Warther’s collection of over 73,000 buttons. This evening, get ready to laugh out loud at the "All Quacked Up" Comedy Show. The American Bus Association named The Amish Country Theater as one of their favorite things to do in all of North America! (B)

DAY 6: Frank Lloyd Wright Fallingwater and the Duquesne Incline Cable Car

Perched on a rock above a gushing waterfall, Fallingwater was built for a Pittsburgh family by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1930s, ingeniously designed to blend harmoniously into the tranquil and beautiful woods around it.

Scale Mount Washington on the Duquesne Incline, a 19th-century cable car, for a fun ride with breathtaking views. The 400-foot incline provides spectacular views of the Pittsburgh skyline and the city’s three rivers. Return on a direct evening flight on Alaska, touching down at SeaTac around 9:30pm. (B)
