AN AMISH EXPERIENCE
The Heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country: Tour “Amish Village” in Lancaster
Travel back in time to be with the Amish, a German religious group who first settled in Pennsylvania Dutch country in the 1720s. Today, most Amish still live by traditional rules established centuries ago—many Amish people do not even use typical electricity from the grid (they do use a few modern workarounds such as batteries though!) At the Amish Village in Lancaster, PA you can see first-hand how a traditional Amish farm and home operate. Take a tour of this 12-acre property, which features a farmhouse, barn, schoolhouse, and blacksmith shop, all originally built in 1840. The people who work at this family-run business are all either currently or formerly Amish. These experts can share facts about the history, lifestyle, and culture of the Amish. The best part—you will eat lunch onsite with and prepared by an Amish family. Enjoy!
