–Learning about everyday life in Amish Country from knowledgeable step-on-guides and direct from the Amish folks at furniture shops, Amish horse farms, orchard and pumpkin patch tours, or tours of modern “English” grain farms.
–Spending some time with relaxed shopping in the unique specialty shops in our downtown. Minimal walking, a broad variety of shops and local products and friendly small town merchants. Most groups honestly wish they had more time for this part of a visit to Illinois Amish Country.
-Downtown Arthur Shopping. Arthur has a vibrant, small downtown, filled with unique shops that your guests will enjoy.

We suggest you include at least 1.5 hours of your visit time here to visit the downtown shops. Amish furniture and gifts, boutiques, collectibles, antiques, florals, special home decor, fabric and quilts, fudge and ice cream. Easily more than an hour to experience. Walkable for any age group.
