The Amish Village
An Authentic Look into the Amish Community
Imagine life without a TV or cell phone; instead of a car, you travel by horse and buggy. Welcome to the Amish community. As one of Lancaster County’s top Amish destinations, The Amish Village offers visitors an exciting and authentic look at the Amish culture.
Your experience begins inside an 1840 Amish Farmhouse where a guided tour takes you through the home giving you an up close and personal view of Amish home life, customs, and traditions. You will quickly see the differences between your life and a culture that has remained relatively unchanged for nearly 300 years. During this 25-minute tour, visitors can see how the Amish live and ask questions about the Amish lifestyle.
After the farmhouse tour, you can explore our 12-acre property and outbuildings on your own and experience:
● A barnyard full of friendly animals to pet and feed
● A one-room schoolhouse where you learn about Amish education
● The Marketplace for Amish jams, apple butter, whoopie pies, and other tasty treats. Even a few samples for tasting!
● The Blacksmith Shop, furnished with tools used by Amish craftsmen for almost 300 years
● A covered bridge, windmill, & water wheel
● A variety of buggies used today by the Amish
● Our gift shop, featuring Amish-made crafts
● Bring a lunch and eat in our picnic pavilion or buy Amish-made treats in our shops
For those who want to get off the beaten path, sign up for the 90-minute Backroads Bus Tour for a one-of-a-kind sightseeing experience of beautiful Amish Country. As you travel past working farms and along country roads where buggies roll along and farmers work their fields, your guide will share informative and educational stories about the Amish community in Lancaster County. You’ll even stop at an Amish roadside business where you can purchase handmade goods and talk to the Amish business owner one-on-one.
