The Farm represents the lifestyle of the Nappanee-area Amish during the late 19th and early 20th century.
The structures themselves are illustrative of the simple architecture favored by the Amish.

The Stahly–Nissley–Kuhns Farm is perhaps the best representation of an old Amish farm in the Nappanee area Amish settlement.
The vast majority of Amish farms in the Nappanee area have been altered to some degree in the name of home improvement.
Many have aluminum or some other type of synthetic siding.
Some of the farm properties have intrusions in the form of new buildings to house motorized vehicles and modern farm equipment, which are gradually becoming accepted among many Amish groups.

The Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory for Elkhart County (1976) identified two Amish farms in the Nappanee area.
These are the Stahly–Nissley–Kuhns Farm, and the Schmucker Farm, located across the road.
The Stahly–Nissley–Kuhns Farm now operates as a farm museum and is part of a development known as Amish Acres.
