Welcome to Down a Country Road Tour Service & Gift Shops owned and operated by our friends Kathy and Chuck Kuderer. While staying at a Pet friendly lodging in Wisconsin be sure to check out the gift shops on the Kuderer farm.
The Amish began settling in the Cashton area in 1966 and have rapidly grown in population in the midst of modern life. Today the Cashton area is home to the largest Amish community in Wisconsin. Chuck and Kathy Kuderer (non Amish) were just small children when the Amish began moving into the area. After many years of establishing friendships with the Amish, the Kuderer’s began working with them in 1994 to provide a place for the Amish to sell their handcrafted treasures. After the Amish built the first gift shop, approximately 45 Amish families began bringing their wares to sell. That one little gift shop eventually became 5 and each has it’s own unique personality.
As you browse The Amish Shop, The Little Red Shed with it’s country crafts and gifts, Memories from Amish Country or Emma’s Kitchen, there will be wonderful treasures around each corner. From hand crafted furniture, quilts, rugs, baskets, wall hangings to home made candies, jams and jellies, maple syrup and much, much more you will not be disappointed in your visit. The gift shops are set in a village like setting, connected with a brick pathway and beautifully landscaped grounds. A visit to the gift shops would not be complete without a stop at Country Corner Ice Cream Shops where you will find delicious treats. Enjoy a hand dipped ice cream cone, sundae, a root beer float or other treat as you sit in the gazebo and gaze out at the small pond and beautiful gardens.
If it is the interesting and unique life of the Amish that you are curious about, you may want to consider one of Kathy’s guided Amish Tours. A very limited number of these tours are available each season by reservation.
