the product. Next, take a tractor-drawn wagon ride at County
Line’s U-pick Apple Orchard. Walk through the corn maze and
visit the big red barn on your way out! Step back into the Roaring

On your way home, stop at the Indiana Welcome Center and tour

Add a day to your itinerary to ensure you don’t miss any must-see
attractions. Visit The Shrine of Christ’s Passion in St. John. The
interactive half mile winding pathway begins with the Last Supper
and Garden of Gethsemane and features 40 life size bronze statues
and listening stations. You then journey through the Passion of Christ
as depicted in the Stations of the Cross. As you exit the tomb and
continue down the path, you will find the apostles looking toward
heaven in awe at Jesus’ Resurrection and Ascension.
