Amish-Crafted Furniture
The rich legacy of Amish-Crafted Furniture has its roots in the Midwest. Generations ago, Amish communities along the Eastern seaboard gravitated west to Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana. Amish craftsmen soon got to work crafting furnishings for their homes and their neighbor’s, as well as religious gatherings.
As a result, Amish craftsmanship earned a reputation for durability and high quality that quickly spread throughout the region. Today, Amish craftsmanship is legendary. Indiana Amish furniture has garnered a reputation as some of the finest in the Midwest. In Shipshewana, located in Northern Indiana, a vast furniture market opens each summer, drawing thousands of furniture enthusiasts.
Throughout the Midwest and beyond, many Amish furniture markets (such as the one in Shipshewana) display numerous hand-crafted furniture pieces in a variety of styles and designs. Visit a local furniture market, talk first-hand with Amish craftsmen and retailers, and discover your enthusiasm for genuine handcrafted furniture.
