Sightseeing in Goshen, Nappanee and Shipshewana Indiana


(Below) We observed this Police Booth in the Downtown section of Goshen.  We just had to pull over to take a picture of the plaque.



(Below) This is the North Wood High School in Nappanee.  That is a very large 5th wheel, parked there.  The markings on it states it is the 1st place winners in the ISSMA, Indiana State School Music Association for numerous years.   We're not sure what the tower below is for.  It's located in the middle of their parking lot, with the one lonely seat on top. Could it be a time out chair?  Maybe it's a lookout for gangsters?  
(Below)  This is the Inn we are staying at

(Below) Tanks carrying Ethanol and what we think might be a base to a windmill.  Many trucks passed thru last week, each carryng one blade to the windmill.  One very huge, long blade.  
(Below) 1st pic:  fields of corn; 2nd pic:  fields of soybeans; 3rd pic: used tractor parts store.
(Below):  Amish school; 2nd pic:  Some extremely large silos'
(Below) A supermarket, teeny tiny bottles of extract, children's outdoor lawn toys on top shelf in back against the wall.  
(Lower left): A dining table that seats 12.  You can see the leaves in the bench.
(Below) Flowers in Shepshewana, Napanee 
(Below) Shipshewana store displays.  
(Below) We met Maggie, and I've never got so close to a Clydesdale.  
That Horsefly below on the flower had to be 1.5 inches long.

  1. The lonely chair in that tower is likely for the marching band director (or assistant director) to check on the accuracy of the formations the band makes during the half-time shows. For example, the band might spell out the team name or line up in band members in the shape of the school mascot. All the members have to be in specific spots on the field at specific times or the formation won't work. At Ohio State University, it is an honor to be the player who gets to dot the i when the band spells out OHIO!

  2. In any case, wonderful photos! Looks like you have a great day to look around. Thanks for the memories. I still haven't found my last set of photos from Shipshewana. They may not have made the move. ):
