Not too big, not too small and plenty of fun activities for the entire family (the tractor train ride was the best I've ever been on!) The staff was very friendly and the prices were affordable. The pumpkins were only 32¢ a pound and were some of the prettiest I've ever seen! To top it all off, this amazing family was even holding a fundraiser for local children battling terminal illness. We will definitely be back!

Indiana's official "State Historic Sites" are remarkable gems bringing life to treasured Indiana…read morememories. The Gene Stratton-Porter State Historic Site is located in Rome City, a Noble County city located on Sylvan Lake. This is one of two homes of Stratton-Porter to be named state historic sites (the other is Limberlost). Considered Stratton-Porter's "cabin," this home is located among 148 acres and surrounded by fields, woods, and formal gardens. Did you know that Stratton-Porter is Indiana's most widely read female author? She was also a nature photographer, naturist, and entrepreneur. Her novels include "The Song of the Cardinal" and "Michael O' Halloran." The Carriage House Visitor Center is a great place to stop when here. You can wander around the grounds, explore her library, and even watch rare video footage of this early 20th century writer. Admission is free to Indiana State Museum members and children under the age of 3. Otherwise, it's $6 for ages 3-17, $5 for Indiana college students (ID required), $8 for seniors (60+), and $9 for other adults. Access Pass members are also $5. Indoor tours are only available by reservation for groups of four or more by calling the site at 260.854.3790. Groups of 10 or more receive $1 off full-priced admission per person, based on age. Admission is FREE for pre-registered, accredited schools and homeschool groups of 10 or more K-12 students. It's important to note that the site is open April-November. Accessibility is a bit inconsistent, though given the age of the house that's to be expected. There's definitely a good effort made (as is true for most historic sites). I did feel like a few tweaks could have improved it a bit (thus the 4-star), however, I still had lots I could enjoy here and I found it incredibly relaxing. As a writer myself, there's something awesome about enjoying Indiana's writing history. You can also host events here! I'm a big fan of Indiana's state historic sites and I'm trying to make my way to all of them. This is a definite gem and should be considered for a stop if in the Noble County (think Kendallville) area.

All the things I didn't know would more than fill this review. They have full size windmills that you can get up close and personal with. There is a movie before you walk through the barn where you learn firsthand some of the ways a windmill works. Then step out into the yard. Here you have a variety of windmill styles and lots of information about what their advantages are, when they were used and so on. Very glad we stopped in here on our road trip west. If you haven't stopped in yet, add it to the list. A very fun outing. Free parking on site. Restrooms are outside on the back of the building. Fish food is available in the office for a small fee if you'd like to feed the fishes. That was fun.

I've been doing a lot of nostalgic looking back at my Tenderness Tour history from my wheelchair…read morerides around Indiana. I stumbled across this unique place that I absolutely loved. It's the Mid-America Windmill Museum, a museum that seems right at home in Northeast Indiana's Kendallville. The Mid-America Windmill Museum's stated goal and purpose is to provide a museum to collect, display, preserve, educate, and build awareness of wind power from its origination through the American windmill to the present day. They do this through video presentations, guided tours, exhibits, interactive displays, photographs, and a museum library. The museum was established in 1992 and currently has 52 windmills. The museum has a replica of the Robertson Post Windmill, a 52-foot diameter windmill that was originally erected on the James River near Jamestown, VA in 1620. This museum is also the only museum to have all eleven Flint and Walling models beginning with the Original Star which was patented in the 1870's and sold for 40 years. The museum also includes the STAR ZEPHYR, the last windmill manufactured by Flint and Walling. In a part of Indiana known for more simple living and for a high population of Amish, a museum like this one seems right at home. It's not for everyone and it's certainly not a destination museum but if you're in for a unique day trip there's quite a few other things to see in the Kendallville area. This is actually a really neat community filled with friendly people. I did a weekend-long workshop here on child abuse prevention and really love the community. The museum offers memberships and volunteer opportunities. It's open somewhat limited hours - so, I'd check it out prior to a trip. It's not open on Mondays. The museum is wheelchair friendly and accessible. It offers a picnic pavilion and the Baker Hall Reception Area. Admission these days is $8 for adults; $6 for seniors; children/students for $5; and children 6 and under are free.
