Pennsylvania Amish of Lancaster County My Fav Spot

Pennsylvania Amish of Lancaster County

Pennsylvania Amish Country is a picturesque landscape, rolling hills with lush grasses and crops, farms with windmills dotting the horizon and horse and buggies sharing the road. The Pennsylvania Amish of Lancaster County are America’s oldest Amish settlement, where thousands still live a centuries-old plain lifestyle. Arriving in PA Dutch Country allows you to step back in time to enjoy a slower, more peaceful pace – one where the horse & buggy remains a primary form of transportation, and where windmills dot the landscape, providing power harnessed from nature. It’s a way to experience the Amish culture — one that has changed little in almost 300 years! As part of your visit to The Amish Village, you’ll take a guided tour of our authentic 1840 Amish farmhouse, An Amish one-room schoolhouse, Barn with farm animals, Smokehouse Market for Amish-made jams, apple butter, pies, Amish-made crafts and souvenirs, Buggies, plows and tools on display. The Amish of Lancaster County focus their life on service – first to God, and likewise to their family and the entire Amish community. The Pennsylvania Amish are dedicated to peace and humility, and in an effort to preserve their values they avoid the ways of the modern world, such as television, automobiles, or personal ornamentation. The result is a quiet, unassuming and highly-productive community whose way of life has changed little since settling in Lancaster County almost 300 years ago.
