Tour of Rieth Village

Join Merry Lea's executive director, Luke Gascho, for a tour of Rieth Village. The focus of this tour is energy efficiency. Although our wind generator spinning atop its 100-foot tower often steals the show, the real secret behind a green building is energy conservation. Come learn how 2x6es, a white metal roof, passive solar design, roof overhangs and careful planning help Rieth Village produce most or all of the energy than it consumes. Cost: $5 Merry Lea is located 45 minutes southeast of Goshen College near Wolf Lake, IN. See directions on Merry Lea's website.
