    Mark your calendars for the 2025 Indiana Barn Foundation barn tour! This year it will be held in LaGrange County on Saturday, September 13th from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. The self-guided driving tour will feature nine barn locations including two Amish homesteads, a honey farm, a Percheron horse barn, and a Bison ranch.

    The day-of tour headquarters at Pretty Valley Barn, one of the barns on the tour, will feature selfie stands, food trucks and a book signing from 10 a.m. to Noon by Cindy Ladage, local author of Farm Girl Adventures. Locations along the route will have portable restrooms and some will have additional food for sale. The local organizing committee have additional events planned for both Friday and Saturday along with special lodging rates for those interested in planning a weekend get-away.

    Advance barn tour tickets are $15 for IBF members or $20 for non-members. Children 16 and under are free. Tickets may be purchased online until 5 p.m. on September 12th at the member/non-member price. Tickets the day of the tour will be $20 for all and available in-person at Pretty Valley Barn, 2685 S 950 E, LaGrange, IN, which will serve as the day-of tour headquarters. Those who pre-register should start their tour with a stop by the barn to pick up maps, wrist band tickets, and collectible stickers.
