Things to do in Shipshewana In
I will be heading out from New Jersey to the membership meet in Indiana on Wed., coming home on Sunday, and was looking for some museums to visit. I will be traveling on Rt. 80. Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: Things to do in Shipshewana In
There is an auto museum right beside the Blue Gate Garden Inn. I spent a number of hours there, very good. There is also an antique market futher up the road. Lots to see.
Shipshewana is a great place to visit. Good food. Have fun. Jeff

Re: Things to do in Shipshewana In
The Studebaker National Museum in South Bend is well worth the visit. Be sure to visit all three levels.
I haven't been for several years, but I used to visit the large flee market in Shipshewana. I don't recall the day to go or if it's open more than one day a week. |

Re: Things to do in Shipshewana In
Yes, Tom is right there is a huge flea market as well. You can get lost in there. We also drove to the Studebaker museum as well. There are 2 parts to the museum, meaning the Studebaker and a life style? Museum. We only did the Auto museum, as Tom stated, do all three floors. Worth the visit. Jeff

There is a travel trailer/motorhome museum on route 80 near Elkhart. Lots of neat old stuff going all the way back to the 20's through the present.

I got to the Studebaker museum today. Thanks for the info, it was a fantastic museum. Well worth the visit. I am going tomorrow to the Hudson museum for the MARC welcome dinner.

Re: Things to do in Shipshewana In
Well yesturday we went to the Auburn http://www.automobilemuseum.org/#home.html and National Auto and truck Museum http://natmus.org/ Today we went to see the V 8 Museum http://www.fordv8foundation.org/
Tom, I don't remember seeing that car, but there was so much to see I might have missed it. The people in charge of the meet did a great job putting together a few self guided tour instructions to get to the museums.
