When I grew up here, didn't know what the fuss was all about, but now that I've lived elsewhere, I know this is one of the most beautiful areas in the country. The simplicity of the Amish is admirable, if not a little mysterious. They certainly work hard to stay a community, and to help each other out whenever their's... More

We visit the Amish country several times a year, usually staying overnight. The restaurants are great, although some offer quantity over quality. One of our favorites is . Dienner's on Rt. 30.

Driving down Old Philadelphia Pike taking in the scenery of farm houses and horses and buggies was delightful as was the visit to the Farmers Market in Bird-In-Hand.

Overall, the buggy ride was pretty good! I was a little dissapointed that the "cookie run" wasnt being offered on the day we went, but it was a Sunday so I was glad that it was even open in the first place. The ride was very relaxing and it was so nice to see the pastures. The driver, although not... More

We visited Lancaster with the main purpose of learning more about the Amish family and faith. So, we took to the back roads and stopped in at the family farms to purchase pies, quilts and other home made items. As they warmed up to us they shared a lot of their views and "conditions" associated with their way of life.... More
