Behalt - Amish Mennonite Heritage Center

"The Behalt is a historically significant place, showing the timeline of the reformation and the way the Anabaptist people have affected the world and also how other denominations have treated them. Highly recommend to anyone interested in religious history."

"Nice informative video to watch with tours available."

"Behalt is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn the history of Anabaptists! There are several tours. First, is the cyclorama (of which there are only a few in the world) from Jesus Christ's resurrection to the present day, in narration and pictures in and round mural. It takes roughly 45-50 minutes to hear it from beginning to end. Second, there is a video presentation around 20 mins in length of the Amish life. Thirdly, there is a tour of an Amish school, which lasts around 15-20 minutes, and fourth, a tour of an Amish barn, complete with narrative history of barn raising, different types of buggies and a Conestoga wagon. Last, there is a gift shop and book store to continue educating yourself on Anabaptists. One could spend hours there. Located just outside of Berlin, it is close to all the sights around. I highly recommend a visit!"

"Very nice facility with a wealth of information on Amish and Mennonite culture. Beautifully presented artifacts, old and new. Detailed explanations and myth-busting help the visitor understand the people and their history. There are several short films and guided tours are available as well. There appears to be a large appointment-only library for advanced research. There are also additional out building available for tours. I found this to be a superior facility and staff. Highly recommend. UPDATE MAY 2023. Spent time in the library discussing a genealogy question. Tremendously helpful young man. Knowledgeable, friendly I really think this facility is a touch above."

"A must see for visitors. Tours are about every 30 minutes. The guide is a local Amish man that worked as a teacher for 24 years. He is very knowledgeable and down to earth. Tour of the school room and barn is $8 for an adult ticket. We did not get the mural tour, but the mural itself is an amazing work of art. It is outside and free."
