What To Expect

The Amish Farm and House

At the start of your tour, you will be welcomed into our farmhouse for a guided 30 minute tour. During this tour, a guide will teach you about Amish history, religion, and clothing as you walk through each room of our historic farmhouse. This is a great tour to start with as it will give you a good base knowledge before arriving to the Amish homes. It's amazing to see their different appliances and their "modern take" on electricity. Our farm house is the first Amish attraction in the United States. The farmhouse was built in 1805 and the last family to live here was in 1955. When you return to our farmhouse you can visit with our animals and artisans. We even have an Amish schoolhouse and covered bridge.

The Amish Farm and House

After your guided house and bus tour, you are free to explore our 15-acre farm. We have lots of animals for you to visit with and historic barns and buildings. We also have an Amish-one room schoolhouse for you to visit by yourself. Don't miss riding on the Amish scooters, they are so much fun! This is a self-guided tour that you can do before or after your guided tours. If you select the 2pm tour, we suggest you come early!

Amish Country

Next, jump on our spacious minivans and we'll guide you through the beautiful Amish farmlands. The bus will stop at three authentic Amish homes. At each home, mom, dad, and their children will allow you to sample Christmas cookies and chit chat about Christmas traditions. You'll leave each home with a variety of cookies and recipes to make at home. We suggest bringing extra cash to purchase more baked goods and handmade items from the Amish families.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Just took the cookie tour yesterday with my daughter, who was down visiting from Maine. The cookies and other goodies were of course awesome and it was so nice of our host families to allow us into their homes. A couple of the stops included lots of love and affection from the family dogs (golden retrievers) which was so cool. Our driver, Hue-Ling, was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor! All in all, it was a great time and I highly recommend it if you are in the area.

This was far more wonderful than I ever anticipated. It’s certainly put my best friend and I in the Christmas spirit. The bus driver new every detail about the Amish and even after going to Lancaster for over 30 years, I learned more in one day from our driver. We went to three different Amish homes. We would go into the kitchen area and the Amish lady of the house be waiting for us with fresh cookie samples, cookies to buy, children and grandchildren quietly smiling at all of us as we entered. We were given samples of each cookie along with the recipe card when we left. We even learned about the buggies and the horses that drive the buggies and how they are acquired. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone. I cannot wait to go back next year!!

Tour of the Amish Farm & Home Center was very nice. The Tour Bus driver was excellent. Enjoyed the last house we stopped at more than the first two. Had hoped to tour a working Amish family farmhouse. It seemed that the 3 stops were more to sell us goods rather than give us a tour; especially the first stop.
