Tables and chairs were all set up when we arrived, and it was easy to get the table settings all arranged. They had everything we needed, from silverware/cups/plates/tea kettle/water dispensers and more. We used the projector for a brief period to show a slideshow, and the rest of the time we were playing music from my phone via bluetooth. The wifi was easy to connect to and was reliable. The venue is handicap accessible and the bathroom was large enough to fit the wheelchair of a member of our party, though it was a little tight for the wheelchair to turn a corner to get into the bathroom. They host all sorts of events here from weddings to jewelry making classes and more, so I highly recommend planning an event here!

I didn't expect Emily to refund us. We did however pay separately for a breakfast at their other b&b on market street. She told me she wouldn't serve us or refund us. She also told me IN THE NAME OF JESUS that I couldn't hurt her reviews. I never asked for a refund. I never said I'd give her a bad review. I only asked for a refund of my breakfast that I paid extra for n she now wouldn't serve me. I'm actually shocked she brought Jesus into it. I did mention a fraudulent charge for the breakfast. That's when she said she'd refund it. I suppose we'll see I still would've had breakfast there. Btw this farmhouse is surrounded by new residential areas.

Clean bathrooms are a big plus, good bar area with smart prices on a surprising selection, and I like the food, selection of excellent salad, meats, and fantastic desserts for the right fix after a lot of walking and talking. I noticed the staff was polite and not that easy to notice which is exactly what works for catering. Even with me only doing the piano performance for the ceremony, not in on the planning or numbers, I easily see why they picked this place and can highly recommend.

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.

The Goshen Theater is a 590-seat theater in Northeast Indiana's Goshen. It's a historic theater…read morehaving been built in 1905 as the Jefferson Theater. Its opening was a big deal and was attended by then Indiana Governor Frank Hanly. Just a little over a year later, the theater was completely destroyed in a fire. By October 1907, it was back. While it started largely as a stage theater, by the 1910s it was moving into movies and events including such things as hosting evangelist Billy Sunday, Roald Amundsen (famous explorer), and John Philip Sousa with his band. In the 50s or so, it became part of Miller Theaters. In the 1980s, it became part of Kosko Theaters. In 1987, it became wrapped up in a bankruptcy proceeding until 1987 when purchased by Word of Life Church. While there were events, it really stayed a church-centered building until 2014 when a new nonprofit, Goshen Theater, Inc. purchased it. In 2020, renovation was complete. It now has its 600-seat auditorium, a ballroom, a historic-themed lobby, and other gathering spaces that can all be rented. In 2022, it became a centerpiece for Goshen's First Fridays. The theater hosts events, bands, a ton of area youth events, and local/regional performances. I've attended three events here and always make a point to go see it when I'm in the area (typically for one of my fundraising events - which, somewhat oddly, I've never pursued here). I tend to always be a bit more merciful about access when it comes to historic buildings. It's not bad here, though certainly not perfect. If you have specific needs, I'd reach out to the staff - very friendly and helpful. Miller Auditorium is sort of the centerpiece - it's the 595 (NOTE: I've seen 590, 595, and 600 cited in different places)-seat theater that can easily host theatrical productions, movies, concerts, lectures, comedy, etc. They give discounts to local businesses and non-profits. Goshen Theater Ballroom has a capacity of 120 with round tables/chairs; 320 without tables/chairs. It's on the third floor (there is an elevator). It can host A/V equipment, stage platforms, etc. Goshen Theater Ballroom The Lobby is just a really cool space for events. They'll do a small stage if needed. There's a full bar in the South Lobby and they have a concession area. I'm a sucker for traditional marquees and historic theaters. I'm a huge fan of Elkhart County anyway (I look for reasons to go). Goshen Theater is just one of the true jewels of Elkhart County. While I took a photo of the marquee with one of the more progressive events, rest assured there are a ton of other events here. For those concerned with accessibility, I love this statement on their website "Goshen Theater strives to be accessible to all patrons. We offer a variety of seating options for all capabilities, as well as assistive listening devices and sensory backpacks (i.e. noise cancelling headphones, weighted lap pads, sunglasses, and fidget tools) available for free checkout at our Box Office. Additional services available upon request." So, seriously, touch base with them if going and you have concerns. The one thing I'm not sure of - and as a performer I do care - is if the actual stage can be accessible. I don't think it is from the front. Overall, however, this is just a lovely, lovely theater.

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.

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 appreciated the iron/ironing board so we could iron the wrinkles out of our wedding attire & our room was very clean. I'm rating 3 stars because the beds weren't the greatest & the continental breakfast was paltry, but for the price we paid for two nights, we could easily afford to eat out for breakfast. The outside appearance of the inn could be improved if someone were to keep up with the landscaping & pull the weeds.

There was food leftover in the fridge and a sticky mess on the counter. Also the bathroom makes not sense! The tub/shower has a curtain separating it from the bathroom, normal right? Until you look at the other side which is just an open window. So from the bed you can watch your "roommate" shower or use the toilet with only a flimsy curtain for privacy! There were several other stains in the room and the floor clearly had not been swept. The only positive thing is the fact that there is a complimentary Starbucks coffee and hot chocolate machine in the breakfast area.
