The Amish House Tour
Their house tours give guests an informative view of the Old Order Amish lifestyle. They take a respectful and authentic look into Amish culture as their tour guides take you on a room-by-room tour of an original, centuries-old Amish farmhouse.
Guests will learn about how the Amish hold worship services in their homes (they don’t have church buildings), and how their faith affects other aspects of their lives. Learn about Amish schools and education, and how their communities adapt to our modern society. Your knowledgeable tour guide will also explain Amish clothing styles, other distinctive features of the Amish lifestyle, and will answer your questions about Amish life.

Then, you can learn about other facets of Amish culture on a tour of their 15-acre farm. Their farm includes a lime kiln, a bake oven, a summer kitchen, a smoke house, a milk house, a chicken house, an herb garden, a windmill and waterwheels, and a milking cow for the kids.
You’ll find a number of farm animals in their barn and meadows. They may vary year to year or by season, but you’ll often find goats, pigs, turkeys, miniature horse, donkeys, steers, alpacas, and more.
