"Sistine Chapel of the Amish and Mennonites". For a stunning visual depiction of the history of the Amish and Mennonite people, visit the Heritage Center's cyclarama. Tours of the huge 360-degree mural (10' x 265') are narrated by Mennonite guides. The center also provides a free 15-minute video about the area and its population.
The Amish and Mennonite Heritage Center is located at 5798 County Road 77 near Bunker Hill in Berlin, Holmes County, Ohio, the world's highest-density area of Amish and a large population of other Anabaptists. It houses the Behalt cyclorama, one of a handful of remaining cycloramas worldwide and the only one painted by a single artist. The cyclorama presents the history of Anabaptism.
