WAYNE COUNTY ONE-DAY TOUR, ITINERARY #2

9:00am-10:15am
Our day begins at Lehman's Hardware where Amish farmers shop for cookware, tools, non-electric lights, crockery, kegs and gas refrigerators--you can shop there too! Don't forget the shops at Millstreams Plaza directly across the parking lot from Lehman's.

10:30am-11:30am
Next stop, Care-n-Share, a unique store with a special story. This store offers a great selection of handmade items all made by physically challenged people with special needs. We can arrange for a basket weaving and quilting demonstration for your group.

11:45am-12:15pm
Take a leisurely drive through Amish Country as you approach Wooster. We'll take a short stop in Apple Creek at Troyer's Home Pantry and take home a loaf of homemade bread, pie, cream sticks or other delicious baked goods.

12:30pm-1:30pm
Enjoy lunch this afternoon at one of our many fine restaurants, from Amish to fine dining.

1:45pm-3:15pm
No visit is complete without a stop at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) - The Ohio State University. (The largest research institute of its kind in the U.S.) The Secrest Arboretum is located on 85 acres of rolling land and offers both the flora researcher and the plant enthusiast more than 2,000 species, varieties and cultivators of trees and shrubs for evaluation and viewing.
