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.

We had a wonderful experience! It was very special to visit some Amish families and sample their homemade cookies and get to take some cookies home with us! Some of the families had additional homemade items that could be purchased at very reasonable prices. It was so nice to converse with these Amish families about their upcoming Christmas and how they will spend it with their families.

We had a nice time of the Amish Christmas cookie tour. We toured the Amish House and saw the farm. Then we took a bus to 3 Amish farms to taste cookies and bring home some as well. The tour guide in the house and on the bus were both very informative and nice. It was a fun tour of the area and learning about the Amish culture.
