Play Visit our Amish Settlement The Harmony Area is home to Minnesota’s largest Amish settlement. Over 100 Old Order Amish families live in the countryside near Harmony.
Niagara Cave
“Old Order” indicates that they are very private people, and use only limited technology in their homes and businesses. The Amish of Harmony began their move to this area in 1974 and have grown to over 1,000 people with ten church “districts” and ten one-room schools. Another Old Order Amish group has recently begun settling in nearby Granger, Minnesota. The Amish primarily make their living through farming, construction, and by making and selling crafts.
1-877-886-2469
Baskets, furniture, jams, rugs, quilts, baked goods, and cashew crunch are among the items available for sale in local businesses and at farmers markets, Amish homes and roadside stands. Visitors to the Harmony area can visit Amish farms and merchants by booking a tour through Amish Tours of Harmony, located in the Sugar Plum House. The tour company offers comfortable van tours, guided tours in your own vehicle, or can provide a guide for your bus group. Another tour option would be to rent a CD tour of the Amish countryside. The Amish Back Roads Tour is available from the Village Depot or the Amish Connection on Main Street.

Play Cave Exploration Harmony is located in such a unique corner of Minnesota. One of the most interesting things about our area is what lies below the ground! Just south of Harmony, Niagara Cave is one of the most fascinating and distinctive geological attractions in the United States. It is consistently rated one of the top ten caves in the U.S.! Visitors to Niagara Cave will be taken on a one-hour guided tour, where they will witness an underground stream, a 60 foot underground waterfall, stalactites, stalagmites, calcite flowstone, and several fossils which have been dated to over 400 million years old. Niagara Cave is 48 degrees year round, so wear a jacket, and don’t forget to pack your sneakers!

P L A Y Wood Carving
Play
Woodcarving Art has a significant presence in Harmony with large pieces displayed throughout our town. These woodcarvings are the work of artist Stanley “Slim” Maroushek of Harmony. Slim’s vision was to create a walking Art Tour in downtown Harmony to encourage visitors & residents to enjoy a walk around downtown, view local art and visit our downtown businesses. The statues can be found displayed in our downtown and on the bike trail .
Harmony is home to the largest privately owned wood carving museum in the United States. Slim’s Woodshed features over 4,000 hand carved pieces from all over the world. Other large pieces can be found in Harmony, including a life-size Nativity scene on display during the Christmas season, which was commissioned by local residents.
Musicians of Harmony Currently four carved musicians are completed and displayed in downtown Harmony. The Musicians of Harmony series speaks to the diverse heritage of Harmony through Folk Art style pieces.
