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.

This was an amazing experience, one that I will never ever forget. ! We didn’t go to just one Amish home, we went to three different homes out in beautiful Lancaster County. Even the views of farm life were so beautiful and peaceful. The Amish were very accommodating and hospitable, offering cookies to take home and to buy while waiting for any questions one might have. The cookies were delicious too! I bought a whole bunch and a loaf of homemade bread. We even visited a Mennonite bakery and I bought more goodies there too! The weather was perfect for the day it started out cloudy and gray but the sun came out towards the end and made Lancaster light up and look like pictures only that I would see in a magazine or on TV. I’m definitely coming back, and it was worth the money.

It does really sound like you enjoyed the tour and spending time with each Amish family. Eating the Christmas cookies and learning about the Amish makes for an eventful day in Amish Country. We do hope to see you again next year, and maybe for our Amish dinner tour too!
