Special Notes: Outside on the hugh lawn will be a quality antique show that will be held in tents and under the sun.
Next to the Farmstead Inn is a very nice Antique Mall, one that screens its vendors and only allows antiques.
Across the street there will be a large Amish Quilt show and auction. By taking a short walk uptown, you will be amazed at all the Amish crafts, furniture, and FOOD that will attract you. The entire area is largest Amish community in the Tri-State. This is a great place to vacation. The hotel is extending our special rate both before and after the show. Call now to reserve your room at 260-768-4595. The rooms will fill fast not only because of us, but also because of the many who come here for the Antique Show.
We will be packed with over a hundred eight foot tables. Last year we had 110 tables at this show.

Call 260-768-4595 to reserve a spacious room. Due to the large antique show that will be adjacent to the ATCA National Show, once our block is full, it will be difficult to get more rooms. The last time we had the show here, we used all our block.
The Antique show is heavily advertised in the Tri State area for 6 months prior to the show. The thousands of dealers and buyers who go to Shipshewana each week will know about the show. We advise is to make your reservation now.... call the Farmstead at 260-768-4595.
