In July 1994, Wendell August opened our wonderful workshop and gift shoppe in Berlin, Ohio. Berlin is nestled in the rolling hills of Holmes County, home to the largest Amish and Mennonite community in the world. The Amish are quiet people who hold fast to their traditions and way of life. They are renowned for their crafts, and the quality of their work is exceptional. We’re certain you’ll agree that the area was a natural setting for our second location. The 13,000 square foot timber frame facility houses many exciting attractions, including a 4,000 square foot gift shoppe filled with our handcrafted metal giftware and other unique gifts. Guests can’t help noticing the World’s Largest hand crafted replica of the packet ship "Columbia", or the World’s Largest Amish Buggy! There’s also an LGB Train winding its way overhead on over 300 feet of track. Stroll back in time in our museum featuring collectible Wendell August giftware from the 1920s – 1950s.
