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.

Since I absolutely love the Amish, since Christmas is my favorite time of year, and since making Christmas cookies is one of my favorite activities of all time, when I saw "Amish Christmas Cookie Tour," I knew I *had* to go (trifecta!). Two days later, three lovely Amish families welcomed eager tourists - including me - into their homes and blessed us with being able to sample and purchase (if desired, but of course!) some of the most delicious bakes I've ever eaten in my life - and not just because I can taste the love, history, and nostalgia in each bite. Other goodies were available for purchase, too, including authentic, skillfully sewn home help items and gifts. Between Linda S.'s delicious, fluffy homemade bread (best ever; she also had chocolate-covered peanut butter & crackers available!), Grandma Barbara's perfect chow chow and jellies, Rachel E.'s even-more-scrumptious-than-anticipated pumpkin roll with cream cheese frosting in the middle and her hubby David's sweet sense of humor - aside from all the cookies! - my mouth is now physically watering thinking about what's still left on my kitchen counter (which is considerably less than what I came home with). Even more to be thankful for, cookie recipes were also provided. Don was our fearless, knowledgeable guide who made the tour that much more interesting and fun with his vast knowledge of the area and the deep history of the People. Not to be missed.
