Our guide, Mike, was very informative about the Amish culture. He had done his homework. During the tour he took us past some of the area’s significant historic structures, explaining how they played a role in American history. Our hostess prepared an excellent dinner. As we dined with her and her family she encouraged questions regarding their lifestyle. Our questions led to good discussions about their family life, education and religion. Afterward, Mike showed us around the homestead before concluding the tour.
