Welcome to Down A Country Road Amish Gift Shops and Tour Service.

At Down a Country Road, deep in the heart of scenic south west Wisconsin, you’ll find a unique and very special treasure.  The village of gift shops owned by Chuck and Kathy Kuderer, 2 miles east of Cashton along State Hwy. 33 will warm your heart and inspire you as you meander through each of 5 gift shops on the Kuderer’s rural farm.

The Amish began settling in the Cashton area in 1966 and have rapidly grown in population in the midst of modern life. Today the Cashton area is home to the largest Amish community in Wisconsin.  Chuck and Kathy Kuderer (non Amish) were just small children when the Amish began moving into the area.  After many years of establishing friendships with the Amish, the Kuderer’s began working with them in 1994 to provide a place for the Amish to sell their handcrafted treasures.  After the Amish built the first gift shop, approximately 45 Amish families began bringing their wares to sell.  That one little gift shop eventually became 5 and each has it’s own unique personality.

As you browse The Amish Shop, The Little Red Shed with it’s country crafts and gifts, Memories from Amish Country or Emma’s Kitchen, there will be wonderful treasures around each corner.  From hand-crafted furniture, quilts, rugs, baskets, wall hangings to home made candies, jams and jellies, maple syrup and much, much more you will not be disappointed in your visit.  The gift shops are set in a village like setting, connected with a brick pathway and beautifully landscaped grounds.  A visit to the gift shops would not be complete without a stop at Country Corner Ice Cream Shops where you will find delicious treats.  Enjoy a hand dipped ice cream cone, sundae, a root beer float or other treat as you sit in the gazebo and gaze out at the small pond and beautiful gardens.

A very limited number of these tours are available each season by reservation.  You can contact Kathy or Down A Country Road by calling 608-654-5318 ir email at downacountryroad@yahoo.com or visit the Kuderer’s website at downacountryroad.com.
