Two of our guests at the Inn at Lonesome Hollow (a rural Soldiers Grove, WI Bed and Breakfast), Cindy and Ann, took an afternoon tour last Saturday with local  guides, Kevin and Patsy. Kevin is a retired history teacher who is as well steeped in the history of the Kickapoo Valley as anyone. (more…)

The Inn at Lonesome Hollow, a rural bed and breakfast in Southwest Wisconsin, will sponsor three “Learn About the Wisconsin Amish” weekends in 2010. The dates for these Amish weekends are April 30/May 1, June 4/5, and October 29/30.

Included in the Amish learning weekend will be an entire afternoon spent with local tour guides who know the Cashton Settlement extremely well. The afternoon will include a tour, inside and outside, of a recently completed Amish-built house, a driving tour through the Cashton settlement with stops at the workshops of local Amish artisans, lunch at a very unique eatery, a tour of one or more local round barns, and a list of recommended Amish shopping for tour participants to visit on their own.
