Behalt is a 10 ft. x 265 ft. 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.”
Guided ToursLocal Amish and Mennonite guides will take you on a 30-minute tour of Behalt, pointing out the highlights of the painting. Tours include a 15-minute video on the local plain community.
One-Room School | Pioneer Barn Learn about Amish education and its connection to one-room public schools in our restored, pre-Civil War school house. In the pioneer barn, you will see an Amish buggy display and an original conestoga wagon that brought early settlers from Pennsylvania to this region.

“The Amish and Mennonite Heritage Center is well worth a stop if you are traveling through Holmes County, Ohio! “Behalt” is an inexpensive but very creative history lesson of the Amish and Mennonite culture. The mural is amazing!” —trip advisor
