How about another edition of “Name that Amish community“.
Can you tell where these 3 photos were taken? (UPDATE note: each is from a different settlement)

Last year I started a YouTube channel for this site, and have made about 75 videos since then. Many of the videos actually cover topics that I’ve already covered here in written form in the past (e.g., the 10 largest Amish communities; Amish children & discipline, etc.) as well as some new topics. I have heard from some who like the videos, and from some…
Will 2012 be the year of the disenfranchised Amish voter? Yesterday, Cleveland station WKYC ran a story about Amish potentially not voting due to a proposed Ohio law requiring photo IDs. I suspect the (already) growing hype over the upcoming presidential elections has something to do with this. Â Despite the tone of the accompanying video (see below), I tend to think it more wishful media…
Happy Groundhog Day. Punxsutawney Phil apparently saw his shadow this morning, so batten down the hatches for another 6 weeks of chilly weather. This annual tradition has a couple of connections to the Penn. Dutch. First, there happens to be a sizable Amish settlement in Clearfield County in the vicinity of Punxsutawney, PA (1,000+ people). I don’t know of any groundhog-related customs associated with this…
Gallia County is way down in southeastern Ohio on the West Virginia border. I visited back in 2013 – it’s well off the beaten track, but a pleasant place by my impression, with some beautiful hilly country. There are two Amish settlements in this county, one of five church districts and the other of two. Children heading home after school. Photo by Albert Cesare/The Enquirer…
I just returned from an excellent trip to Pennsylvania, with visits to Lancaster County, Mifflin County, Dauphin County and Lebanon County. Â I had planned to post regularly over the past week, which since I stay in Amish homes I usually do via the 3G internet access on my Kindle. Unfortunately the device froze on Saturday and, whatever I tried, wouldn’t restart. Â The people at Amazon…
On several previous occasions we’ve looked at photos taken in Amish homes, including an Ohio home as well as a farmhouse in New York state. But we haven’t seen a lot of video footage from inside Amish homes. However I recently came across the below video taken in what appears to be a Lancaster County Amish home. In this two-and-a-half minute video, the Amishman who…

I’d guess Dover Delaware 😀
Somewhere beautiful that I would like to live.
Name the Amish community #2
YES, agree, a beautiful place to live!!!
So, on naming the community—from the limited visits I’ve made to Amish country — I’m going to GUESS maybe, Paradise, PA, or Bird-in-Hand, PA???? And of course, the phone number on the last one didn’t help — no area code. Plus the 1st photo, the sign was not totally visiable, either (ha)….The 2nd photo, of corn field, reminded me of the corn maze, we saw in Paradise, PA. and the early morning fog, also, reminded me of Smoketown, PA, where we stayed.
I give up, where are these photos taken?? Sharon R
I’d say DITTO to Carolyn’s comment. 🙂
Is is Illinois?
Isn’t is wonderful how neat and clean the Amish keep their properties? I love traveling around the US by car and the Amish communities always impress me. The are always so well kept.
I have no idea where that is but it is beautiful. But seeing I am from New York, I will say that the picture is from my home state. Maybe upstate or over on the east lower east side of New York STate.

3 different communities
Just to clarify–each photo is from a different community.
And I’ve made sure there is a little clue in each shot 🙂
Photo #1 – Big Valley, Belleville, PA
Photo #2 – Ohio
Photo #3 – New York
Photo 1 I don’t know ? Ohio
Photo 2 Indiana somewhere ,only state that requires plates on buggies
Photo 3 British Columbia from the phone number
Amish communities
#1 has got to be Lancaster Cty. I have been past the sign on my back road rides besides the house and surroundings are just Lancaster.
#2 I am also guessing Indiana somewhere.
#3 I have no idea.
Illinois
Indiana
Ohio
Just my guesses, I really have no clue, LOL.
My guesses:
1: Arthur, IL
2: Adams or Allen Counties, IN
3. Dover, DE
I’ll take a stab at it…
1) No clue, but the picture is beautiful!
2) Allen County Indiana (definitely Swiss Amish)
3) Dover, DE
upon further research photo 3 could be either Dover DE or British Columbia .
No idea where these are but want to buy that farm!!
1. Lagrange County, Ind.
2. Allen County, Ind.
3. Dover, Delaware
I’d guess…
1. Ohio, possibly Wayne County
2. Indiana, Berne area or Allen County
3. unsure – could be Delaware or New York, but my first thought was Michigan
what's this Amish Community #2
This 3rd picture with the sale sign looks like in Mio, Michigan, but no it’s not Lol (^_^)
Sharyn Ecker; British Columbia has an Amish population, I did not know this. You learn something every day, eh. Thanks for that!
Here’s my guess, but I am building on what others have said.
#1 Definitely has that polished Lancaster look.
#2 Indiana
#3 Mississippi
SHOM , I dont know if they do I did a search on the Realtor and the phone number prefix and it came up British Columbia .
My guesses...
1. Nappannee, IN
2. Berne, IN
3. Almyer, Ontario, BC
Amish Community
Okay Eric, fess it!?! lol Where are they?
Uh, open buggies with triangles (second photo)—my guess is Indiana.
Others also seem to be in “flatlands”…firscould be Illinois (Arthur),and since I didn’t do a phone number search, I’d go with those who did and guess British columbia.
Correct Answers
All the right responses were mentioned but no one got all three in the same reply though some were pretty close (;
1Nappanee IN-the clue here was the sign, with a B and the very beginning of a u–for Burkholder a characteristic Nappanee Amish name. Also appearance of the farmhouses
2 Adams Co (Berne) IN-the open top buggies and the license plates were giveaways that this was probably one of the Indiana Swiss Amish settlements
3 Dover DE-main clue here was the for sale sign. Many Amish moving away from Dover past few years which we’ve discussed on some Dover Amish posts this year
In Canada Old Order Amish are only found in Ontario. There was an attempt to settle BC but didn’t work out.
