World War II MemorialWhere to Find the Amish
As you travel around Parke County, you'll see horses and buggies occasionally traveling thre roads. More curious about their way of life? Well, you can either try and stalk the buggy, OR you can listen to my tips!
On Saturdays, go east on Hwy 36 out of Rockville. Drive a while, and on your right you'll see a little stand set up. You'll find Amish people selling food, deserts, drinks, crafts, quilts, and various other Amish things.

During the week or weekends, go North on 41 to a place called Coblers Knob (or maybe it's Goblers Knob... anyway...) they sell Amish food and other stuff, plus they sell other country things. AND they have the best ice cream, including my personal favorite flavor, Blue Hawaiian!
If you're interested in woodworking, you can drive North on Hwy 41 and follow the signs to Bloomingdale. Then ask around for John Lapp, who I've heard does excellent woodworking.
I've heard that if you go to G&M Variety on the square you can order root beer homemade by the Amish, but watch out... it's not called root BEER for nothing! (They do ferment it, but barely.)
Also explore the back roads all around the county, since the Amish are spread out all over the county.
