The Amish Experience is an entertaining and educational way to understand and learn about the Amish. Our one-of-a-kind Experience Theater takes you into the lives of the Amish and re-creates dramatic scenes thru special effects. Newly re-mastered this spring, "Jacob's Choice" is a must-see experience for every visitor.
Then explore the Amish Country Homestead's 9 rooms with a guide to understand Amish customs, dress, and adapting to life without electricity. It's the county's only designated "Heritage Site" Amish house tour. At the theater and house, visitors will experience "what it means to be Amish."
And don't miss our Amish Country Tours, a guided, two-hour tour featuring the unspoiled backroad beauty of Amish farmlands, one-room schools, and Amish Cottage industries.
Aaron & Jessica's Buggy Rides
A family owned business, operated by Amish, Brethren and Mennonites (our family settled here in 1757). On your three and a half mile, 25-minute tour, get "insider information" from experienced drivers on everything you see on your tour…Amish schools, shops, farm stands, businesses, show store, machine shop and horse dealer.
