Take a peek into a one-room schoolhouse. Watch an Amish craftsman hard at work. And, experience a taste of daily life in Pennsylvania Amish country – all in a single day, on the oldest tour in Lancaster County. (Did you know that PA’s home to the second largest population of Amish in the United States, coming in behind Ohio?) Here’s just a sampling of what you can expect.
Join the Amish Experience at Plain & Fancy Farm for an intimate look into the everyday lives of the Amish community in Lancaster County.
So, settle in to your seat on the cozy shuttle bus that will take you to such destinations as the Amish Country Homestead, and the Amish Experience F/X Theater.
The SuperSaver package includes an Amish Farmlands Tour, a showing of Jacob's Choice at the Plain & Fancy Theater, and a stop at the one-room schoolhouse and Amish house. (Plus, you get a coupon for a free, local buggy ride.)
Stop at the Amish House & One-Room Schoolhouse. The Amish House, on the Fisher Family Homestead - has been a popular tourist destination for half a century.
And, go on an emotional journey with a viewing of Jacob's Choice. The film follows the life of Jacob, who must decide whether to remain in the Amish community or to leave for the "modern world."
Or, opt for the Amish Visit In-Person, which allows you to see the Amish community go about their daily lives. Stop by a working Amish farm; visit local home businesses, and spend some time at an authentic Amish home.
