Nestled in northern Illinois, Nappanee boasts the longest city name in the nation to repeat each of its letters twice. Nappanee’s extensive history pervades town, from the exhibits at the Nappanee Center to Downtown Nappanee, where an array of small businesses, antique stores, restaurants, venues, and boutiques occupy historic brick buildings along the intersection of Main Street and Market Street.

Nappanee’s past meets the present at Coppes Commons, a former cabinet company turned gathering place for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Amish Acres Historic Farm and Heritage Resort celebrates historic preservation through education and entertainment with guided tours, horse and buggy rides, craft demonstrations, theatrical performances, and more. The close-knit community in Nappanee comes together for special events such as the Arts and Crafts Festival, the Apple Festival, Fourth of July celebration, and various Northwood High School athletic events and fine arts performances.
