NAPPANEE — After much thought and consideration, and due to the recent actions taken concerning the spread of COVID-19 and the government’s recommendations regarding social distancing, the new owners of The Barns at Nappanee, Home of Amish Acres are announcing the delay of opening this upcoming Easter weekend until further notice.

Marlin Stutzman, managing partner of the new ownership group, said, “While we are very excited to welcome the general public to the new shows at The Round Barn Theatre and dining in the restaurants with our new partners at LaSalle Hospitality, we believe it is best to postpone the opening of The Barns at Nappanee until we know our guests and new employees will be safe, comfortable, and conditions regarding the COVID-19 are more understood.

“We appreciate the hard work that our elected officials are doing to ensure public safety and well-being, and we are looking forward to opening as soon as possible with new exciting events and uplifting entertainment for all to enjoy. We will announce our new opening date and theatre season schedule in the weeks to come.”
