Lancaster/Amish Country:

Your day in Lancaster County will concentrate on one of the most conservative People - The Old Order Amish.  We begin with a visit to the Amish Farm & House for an introduction to their most unusual lifestyle.  These people, who have inhabited this area for more than 250 years, live today much like their forefathers who came to Pennsylvania in the early 1700's. Hear fascinating commentary as your guide relates information about their lifestyle, church services, clothing, language, transportation, weddings and more. 

Next board the coach for a tour of the Back Country driving through their beautifully silent farmlands to experience first-hand the lifestyle of these Plain People from cradle to the grave. We pass by one-room school houses, cemeteries, a carriage maker, and working farms where mules and horses pull the machinery in the fields.  Enjoy a stop at a roadside stand where delicious homemade jellies, relishes, breads and cookies are sold and at an Old Order Amish home which houses a quilt shop.  Marvel at the exquisite handwork as you have the opportunity to chat with family members. Lastly, you will enjoy a family-style lunch in an Old Order Amish home, an unforgettable experience.
