Amish in Oregon?

No Amish live in Oregon today, though at one time they could be found in the state.  Amish settled in Oregon in the late 1800s on at least a pair of occasions, in the areas of McMinnville in Yamhill County, as well as Linn County.

No Amish are found in Oregon today

The Linn County group originated with Amish from the Arthur, Illinois community.  This settlement turned out to be short-lived, lasting about a decade before extinguishing in 1907.  The McMinnville Amish settlement was formed by Amish from the Linn County community (see GAMEO “Linn County, Oregon Amish Mennonite Settlement” and “McMinnville, Oregon, Old Order Amish Settlement”).

Today no Amish live in the Beaver State, likely due to a number of factors, including distance from other Amish settlements.  Will an Oregon Amish community one day exist?  Amish have shown their willingness to migrate throughout their history in America.  In recent times Amish have moved from Eastern communities to the West, settling in areas they have never lived before.  With the high Amish rate of growth, and willingness to move, perhaps “Oregon Amish” will be a term heard once again.

Plain woodcraft

Amish furniture making has enjoyed a burgeoning reputation.  Though Amish have long focused on agriculture, increasing land prices and growing market demand have funnelled Amish men into the furniture trade.  Setting up a small shop is easier than purchasing a large dairy farm, and allows many Amish families to maintain an at-home trade which can involve the whole family, in some ways similar to the farm.

Amish produce nearly every style of furniture for each room of the house, including the kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom, dining room, children’s room, as well as outdoor furniture.  Some Amish specialize in kitchen cabinets, custom-crafting them to their client’s specifications.  Other Amish produce a standard line of furniture to sell wholesale to non-Amish dealers, or in some cases retail, direct to the public.

Amish furniture styles

The type of furniture produced by Amish craftsmen is wide an varied.  Amish furniture styles include:

• Shaker
• Mission
• Prairie
• Craftsman
• Queen Anne
• Traditional
• Queen Victoria
• Arts and Crafts
• Contemporary

Amish craftsmen are adaptable and able to make a wide range of furniture styles, even contemporary ones.  Even though they wouldn’t use much of this “fancy” furniture in their own homes, they have no problem with making it for the public.

Buy Amish furniture in Oregon

Amish woodworking can be found in a variety of venues in Oregon

Where to buy Amish furniture in the Beaver State?  Some would-be Amish furniture buyers prefer to visit the shop itself, to meet the Amish owner and craftsman and decide on a style and material for their furniture.  With the nearest Amish to Oregon being many miles away (Montana), this would require a long journey for Oregon residents.  Alternatively, Oregonians can visit one of the many Oregon Amish furniture showrooms, typically featuring a wide selection and offering the added convenience of being close to major population centers like Portland and Eugene.  Finally, Oregon citizens may order Amish furniture online, with internet retailers typically offering delivery of Amish furniture to Oregon and the rest of the continental US.
