The Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center in Holmes County, Ohio offers a unique educational experience centered around the history of the Amish, Mennonites, and Hutterites. One of its main attractions is the Behalt cyclorama, a 10-foot by 265-foot circular mural that depicts the stories of these communities from their origins to the present day.
Through the Behalt mural, visitors can witness the struggles, perseverance, and beliefs that have shaped the Amish and Mennonite way of life. The mural serves as a visual timeline, illustrating the journey of these groups through persecution, migration, and a commitment to non-violence.
As a non-profit organization, the Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center relies on donations to support its mission of accurately informing visitors about the faith, culture, and lifestyle of the Amish, Mennonite, and Hutterite peoples. Guests can enjoy guided tours, explore the gift shop, and engage with the rich history of these communities during their visit.
