Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center Behalt Cyclorama

053
  The main exhibit in the center is a 10 ft tall x 265 ft long circular painting (photography is not permitted) which traces the rise of Christianity, the start of the Anabaptist movement in Zurich, Switzerland in 1525 and the history of Mennonites, Amish, and Hutterite people up to the present. The painting is a little gruesome with details of the persecution of the Anabaptists in Europe before they fled to the Americas seeking religious freedom. The center also has a few exhibits and a short film to explain the culture, lifestyle, similarities, and differences of each group.

  Everything is accessible.

  The parking lot is large enough for any RV. Center
