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.

Enjoyed the tour with my grandsons. The tour included a guides house tour (at the museum) and self-guided tour of the farm. Our bus tour driver, Ava, was friendly and very knowledgeable. Groups were broken down to 20 or so in the house and up to 14 on the bus. We visited 3 Amish family homes on the cookie tour. Everyone was very friendly and it was interesting to learn more about the Amish culture. The tour did include cookies from each home, but not as many as advertised in the tour description. Samples we’re available at each spot, along with the ability to purchase additional goods. If the money is going to the families, I’m ok with it; otherwise I thought the tour price was a bit high for what we got.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review!! We will pass your compliments on to Eva! The Amish families keep 100% of the proceeds they sell at their homes. Thank you especially for the feedback about cookie quantity not matching the tour description. We discovered a communication issue and made changes accordingly. If there is anything else we can do for you please reach out to us at [email protected]
