DISCOVER AN OHIO ORIGINAL It all started with a swarm of bees.

Over 150 years ago, Amos Ives Root was inspired to start a beekeeping business when a swarm of bees landed on the window of his jewelry store. That simple event created a company that has become synonymous with beekeeping, honey, pure beeswax, and the highest quality candles.

A Root candle is clean burning, long lasting, elegantly designed, and luxurious. It is a candle burning experience unlike any other.

A Horse and Buggy Ride through Amish Country

I

well remember the sensory experience of riding in the buggy as a young boy.

The smell of the horse as it clopped down the road.

Sitting on my mother’s lap covered by a heavy robe to keep the winter chill at bay as my father kept a tight grip on the reins. The occasional car would whoosh by the smaller country roads we most often traveled.

Sometimes we went to the church service where our buggy was not much different in color and shape than the 20-30 other buggies at the service. Other times we went to the local villages where on summer afternoons we would purchase ice cream cones and lick the melting ice cream as we traveled home.

Why use the horse and buggy when we would have had the means to purchase a perfectly good car?

Why feed the horse its oats and hay if one could “fill the tank” with gasoline in the local village? While various Mennonite groups have adopted the use and ownership of the modern automobile, the Amish have maintained the use of the horse and buggy. They have done so with the belief, not that the car is sinful, but rather that automobile ownership would significantly change the closeknit structure of family, church and the community. This structure and connection is more important than modern conveniences and therefore they continue to use this mode of transportation.

Buggies differ significantly from one group to another. The more conservative groups have less amenities and creature comforts and their buggies are more plain than some other groups. The Old Order, New Order and the more advanced groups of Amish have modern lights, and safety features that make them much more visible on the roads. Stephen Scott, who studied the Amish Buggies, has suggested that there are at least 90 different varieties of the horse drawn www.travelhost.com

carriage in use among the various different Amish, Mennonite and Brethren groups in North America. They range in color and shape that may help identify the different groups that they belong with.

Like people everywhere the buggies within the specific group may also differ depending on need and age of the owner. Like teenagers the world over, the Amish child’s first buggy is a fact to be celebrated and much attention is paid to polishing, preening, and details. Families may use two-seaters, often called Surreys, similar to minivans of the modern family. From the harness to the emblem on the back of the buggy, the differences are often visible from those within the community and they are able to identify the owners age, social status and church affiliation from the shape and design of the carriage.

While buggies and automobile traffic can be a dangerous mix, common courtesies may often be extended on both parts to make the mix safer.

When driving in Amish Country make sure that you are aware that there may be buggies just over the next hill. Pass when safely possible rather than allowing traffic to build up behind and make both driver and horse nervous. Please don’t stop to take pictures of the buggy unless it is safe to pull over and do so.

Many of the Amish groups are also aware that the shoes of the horses

can cause unique wear to the asphalt. Roads with trough-like grooves are often those most used by the Amish. In the past several years the old order and new order Amish have taken a voluntary buggy tax, since they do not buy license plate. This amounts to nearly the same cost per buggy that residents pay for license plates for the automobile. The only request they have is that the monies, which are voluntarily given to the local entities, be used to fund road construction and repair in the local area. In this way they recognize that giving back is also important as responsible citizens of our world today.

If you wish to learn more about the Amish buggies, or their place in history, or to buy Stephen Scott’s book, plan a visit the Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center. The Center offers guided tours of “Behalt” - a 10 ft. x 265 ft. cyclorama oil-on-canvas painting that illustrates the heritage of the Amish and Mennonite people from their Anabaptist beginnings in Zurich, Switzerland, to the present day. Behalt means “to keep” or “remember.”

The Center is open Mon-Sat 9:005:00 and is located near Berlin, OH at 5798 County Road 77, Millersburg, OH 44654. Please call (330) 893-3192 for more information or to schedule a group tour.

Empowering Farmers and Artisans to earn fair wages and improve their lives

he campus name has changed from Olde Berlin Village Shoppes to Sheiyah Market. A name relevant to local culture as Sheiyah is the Amish word for barn, pronounced Shyyah. It’s a fun word to say and literally rolls off your tongue. Considering the first store was opened in a barn, it is a match made in Holmes County. The stores have not changed. They still have all your favorite products. You will find they have expanded their outdoor spaces, including a spacious courtyard to unwind from the ever-changing world. It’s a great place to park, explore and you’re welcome to stroll their campus.

Here where it all started at the Village Gift Barn, you will find a fashion boutique with distinctive jewelry, a wide selection of home décor, transitional furnishings, a children’s dept with a toy section, and a tantalizing kitchen area. Three floors to explore and an elevator for added convenience.

At Country Gatherings you will walk into a world of inspiration. From modern farmhouse to vintage or primitive they have what you need….the rugs, the accessories, the furnishings, wall décor and even window coverings. As one customer asked upon entering, “Did I just die and go to heaven?” Once inside, follow the aroma to your perfect cup of brew at The Buggy Brew Coffee Co. Do you have a green thumb or want to bring the outdoors in? Do not miss The Gardens! Their team will help you find the perfect plant or accessory to bring new life to your home, porch or planting area. They have a unique selection of houseplants and pots. And if you’re looking for a one of a kind fountain, this is the first stop for you.

Whichever store YOU enter, they believe your home and style is a reflection of YOU and their goal is to help YOU shine at Sheiyah Market.

Sometimes great long term candy and chocolate operators begin in the basement or kitchen of their home. Would you believe approximately 75% do? Back in the depression days, Norman Eiler bought a concession stand back in 1936. These were the kind of stands that had ice cream, sodas, milk shakes and just a little candy, the kind of shop that was all about family values. In 1942 Eilers moved to their current location today. And to this day it remains a true old fashioned store. They don't have a website with its rich history and also doesn't have an on line shop where you could indulge in their offerings. So the next time you are in Dover Ohio located in Tuscarawas County, be sure you stop by and visit this true gem.

The Warehouse Restaurant Celebrating 15th Anniversary

J

ohn Larson purchased the Warehouse Restaurant that has been part of Coshocton’s Roscoe Village back in the 1970’s sometime in 2009 after spending 26 years in the education field. A friend who owned a restaurant in Zanesville was his business partner for the first year. They looked at places in Marietta, Licking County and Muskingum County and then came to Roscoe where he fell in love the area and the building.

Since then he has doubled the outside dining area where people can have fun listening to local music or have wedding receptions out there.

Live music is periodically featured in the lower level of the Warehouse restaurant and they have a comedy club nights upstairs. John, started the comedy club 14 years ago. Two of the comedians have done HBO. Its adult

62 JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2024

comedy though. People start coming around 6:30 p.m, eat and drink upstairs where the show starts about 8:15 p.m and goes until 10 p.m. The next comedy club is Saturday Jan 13 and tickets are only $18.

John is grateful to the community for their support and for allowing him to be in Roscoe Village for over 15 years. One of the menu items that the Warehouse is known for is its Legendary Steak n Stein Onion rings. John merged the menu and service approach from his father and uncle’s Zanesville Steak n Stein. The Legendary Steak n Stein onion rings are the same ones that his father and uncle served back in 1952.

In 2018 the warehouse restaurant was voted the number one burger place, steak place and American restaurant in Coshocton. Be sure when you visit to upgrade your sandwiches

and burgers to what the menu calls the “wow-way”. Most recently they were featured in Ohio Magazine’s top 30 places to stop in State of Ohio. Their customers love their appetizers and other entrees as well.

The Dresden location will be celebrating 7 years very soon. Its about 90 percent of the same menu with about 10 percent difference due to clientele and demographics.

Future plans include continuing to offer a high quality level of food and service at both restaurants, expand the use of the food trailer to other areas and expand the Warehouse’s catering business. John Larson will be the first to say he is thrilled and blessed that after 15 years the restaurant is still going strong. And that without the community and great staff it would have been impossible to do.

What’s New at the Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum?

N

eeding a place to safely store and restore his fleet of railroad old-timers, museum founder Jerry Jacobson acquired 34 acres of farm land located alongside a road named Smokey Lane. Visitors to the Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum experience an immersive trip back into the heyday era of steam locomotives and travel.

Public Tours are offered seasonally April - November with guided tours running at 10:00am, 12:00pm, and 2:00pm, Thursday – Saturday. Aside from the regularly scheduled public tours, there are many special events that guests can attend throughout the year that provide new and exciting experiences. For veterans and military enthusiasts, the museum holds a celebration every year during the second weekend of September that

they call “Steam to Victory”. This event is a celebration of the impact North America’s railroads made on the allied victory in Europe, as well as an event to honor veterans and currently active military members. For Steam to Victory, the museum hosts many military vehicles and reenactment groups that play out mock battles on the facility’s grounds as well as many demonstrations of small arms and other weaponry of the era. Train rides and roundhouse tours are also offered during the event at no extra charge. In October, guests can look forward to taking part in the museum’s “Evening Lantern Tours”, nighttime tours where the guides share spooky stories of railroading and railroad folklore with the guests. These tours run at 6pm and 7pm on Friday and Saturday, during the last two

weekends of October. Kids can look forward to December as jolly ole’ St. Nicholas will be present for the climax of Age of Steam’s operating season for “Santa Visits the Roundhouse”, a fun event where guests will be transported to the roundhouse by train to see Santa, take part in a fun craft, eat cookies and hot chocolate, and each child receives a special gift bag as they exit the roundhouse. Santa will be coming to visit on December 9th from 9am to 1pm.

DISCOVER THE GLORY DAYS OF RAILROADING! Join us on a guided tour of the world’s largest, privately owned, collection of steam locomotives.

Open April-November with guided tours running at 10am, 12pm, and 2pm, Thu-Sat. See website for pricing and more information.

Collectors Decanters & Steins!

Located in “The Little Switzerland of Ohio”

S

pend a few minutes in Collectors, Decanters & Steins and you might find yourself spending hours in our museum.

Our museum offers the opportunity to view over 3000 of the finest and most unique examples of figural decanter in one location. Made to celebrate, commemorate, gift, and collect. These fascinating containers were produced with a huge variety of imaginative themes.

Bottles are the third largest collectable in the country, right behind stamps and coins. Our offerings serve a specific segment in this interest. The idea that the American public would embrace a marketing scheme introduced by the adult beverage industry and pay a premium to have their whisky in fancy bottles called decanters was embraced from 1950’s to 1992.

For sale in our showroom are an exceptional selection of period and contemporary items featuring decanters, Steins, Neon signs, advertising mirrors, and other related memorabilia are available for viewing and purchase.

Please stop by to share and enjoy our collection. Open Mon – Sat 10-5 pm. 119 E. Main St, Sugarcreek.

You wake up on Sunday morning in beautiful Amish Country and you think that there is not much to do. Well, let us help you plan your day and stay for a long weekend.

After Sunday breakfast at your favorite Amish Country hotel or B & B, take a short drive to Coshocton and visit the shops of Roscoe Village.

in Canton, Ohio. The new expansion is fun for the entire family.

Then head on over to Gervasi Vineyard where you can enjoy lunch or dinner any day of the week. Whether it’s in their new Crush House or the Bistro.

Both menus will delight your pallet. Be sure to explore the property which is equally and possibly even more breath taking than any we have seen in Napa Valley, California.

Participate in a wine tasting,

Let’s take a Sunday drive. sip some Sangria in one of the lawn chairs by the lake, or enjoy a light lunch on the Piazza (weather permitting).

Many of the wineries featured in the Ohio’s Heartland Wine, Cheese, and Chocolate Trail brochure are also open on Sunday. Ask for a copy at the front desk. Most wineries are happy to ship your selections for you.

From route 39, you are only about 30 minutes away from either of these fun filled day trips.

Upon returning to your favorite hotel or B&B, prop up your feet and enjoy the night time view of Amish Country.
