I live in Columbus..south of Holmes County . We were just up there last week and it is such an awesome place. If you have never been there,you must go !

although most of this information is correct, I feel as though I must correct the part about the beards. As my Grandpa is Amish, he's explained to me that men can shave their beards until they are baptized into the church. It just happens that many of the men get baptized and get married very close to the same time.

It might potentially be a nice place for a little vacation, but it is NOT a place where you would actually want to live. Trust me... Columbus is much better.

What about Pennsylvania?

You're fortunate to live near Amish people, Robin! When I lived in southern Indiana, I visited an Amish town in northern Indiana several times, Shipshewana. It was like going back in time. I went to a quilt show there and I was amazed at the creativity that went into those quilts! And they were all cut and sewn by hand.
It was fun to visit all the different Amish shops. Strolling around an Amish town in the evening is wonderful! -
I wish I was Amish.

Well, I just learned something. For some reason, I though that the largest populations of Amish people were in Pennsylvania. Not sure what's wrong,but the vid keeps freezing up on me. Sure would like to see it in it's entirety!!

Where's merlin

I've always been fascinated with the Amish home life. If not for my love of big bathtubs, hot running water and central air-conditioning, I think I could have enjoyed the rest :) I'm in upstate NY and we have some old Shaker community buildings and museums here. They were a single/celibate religion, and as you might imagine, they became extinct very quickly :). But the life was very similar, and the crafts and wood-workings are perfection.

Wow, as many times as I've been to Millersburg over the years, I never knew of that place.
-
Yes it is! It's two hours..and a world away..from where I live.
-
Interesting life, that's for sure!
-
What a great video, so glad I got to see it. Thanks so much.

Actually, no, because we have good friends that are Amish and we usually eat at their home. Der Dutchman is pretty well known, though.
