We’re a non-profit organization that engages communities by collecting and presenting Anabaptist artifacts. Our museum houses Anabaptist bibles, hymnals, and books from Europe dating back to the 1500s. We also focus on the Geauga County Amish Community, the fourth largest Amish community in the world, by collecting unique artifacts like clothing, documents, furniture, and books. Our reference library offers Anabaptist and Plain Communities publications for study and research, and we’ve published books to raise awareness of Amish/Anabaptist heritage. We believe preserving Amish culture involves understanding their history and biblical values, which we achieve through historical artifacts, tours, presentations, and publications. The majority of our members are from the Amish community and we are largely supported financially by the Amish. Due to their close interactions with the general public and businesses, we offer presentations and tours to educate the public and businesses about Amish culture.
