Group Fall Foliage Tours in Illinois Amish Country
Enjoy the fall color of Arthur and East Central Illinois, spend a day in
Amish country taking in the sites, smells, and sense of days gone by,
through our more relaxing way of life. While this part of the country is not
know for "leaf-peeping" tours, fall brings on its own special feeling to
Illinois Amish Country. Yes, we have leaves, and a whole lot more. Hand
shocked corn fields, Apples and fresh cider shops, crowded pumpkin patches,
fall gift shops, smoky chimneys, special fall festivals almost every
weekend... Plenty to make a visit or tour worth your while.
As a sample itinerary, remembering that we can fine tune the exact event
times to meet your particular travel needs, you would arrive in Arthur in
the morning for your first stop at The Wood Loft to stretch and refresh, and to meet your tour
guide. Depending on your arrival time and schedule, many groups allow a bit
of time to explore some nearby shops for 30 minutes to an hour before
heading out into the countryside. When ready, head out to an Amish farm for a tour
of the farm and the Amish home,
and enjoy a midday, home cooked meal right in the Amish kitchen.
After lunch continue your interpretive tour of the Amish countryside. Stop
at the "Great Pumpkin Patch", to enjoy the rich colors of fall foliage and
the fall harvest. If time, and most groups find this time, your group can
stop at a country Amish shop or two. Often a country Amish grocery store,
and possibly a quilt shop are included. And then we will go back into Arthur to enjoy shopping in
the local shops, for quilts, home furnishings, fall decor, and for a special
tasty treat, before heading home or on to your overnight accommodations.
This preplanned itinerary can be extended with overnight accommodations and
additional activities in and around Amish Country.
Actual fees depend on group size. The price for a group of forty guests,
with comps for the driver and leader would be $22 each for the 40 guests.
