We watched “Jacob’s choice” and took the Amish house tour. Loved it, the lady who was presenting was so kind and well educated in the Amish history and their way of life. Was perfect to learn about Amish without violating their dignity by sneaking around Price was reasonable and the gift shop is great :)

Visiting three Amish families at their homes was a terrific educational experience. Having an opportunity to speak with the families and to see how they lived and worked was illuminating. The Amish farm experience was a highlight; watching the father and daughter milk cows, etc. The FX theater show was also educational.

This personal tour was a fantastic experience! Our guide, Kent, was extremely knowledgeable about Amish history and life. He and his wife count numerous Amish families among their friends. Everyone we met answered all of our questions very graciously. Our first stop was at a dairy farm. The entire family was so kind and sharing. We were able to feed young calves and were offered cookies and lemonade. Our second stop was at a farm wherein one of the outbuildings had been converted to a woodworking shed. Our Amish guide walked us through what it takes to build an Amish shed and chicken coop, from start to finish with examples that they had worked on during the week. Lastly, we were able to sit in the living room of a kind, loving, and peaceful family with many young, incredibly behaved children. They shared what church as like for the Amish and we got to see their Bible and hymnal. We highly recommend this tour to anyone! One caveat: there are no bathroom breaks on this 3-hour tour.
