We haven’t done one of these in awhile, so here are ten photos from the Adams County, Indiana Amish settlement. As you can see, it was a fairly grey day, so that didn’t help. Which do you think came out best? If you enjoyed these, some other photos: 10 views of Lancaster County Amish 10 views [...]

The New Wilmington, PA Amish community numbers 19 church districts, and around 2,500 souls. It is quite a recognizable group by its brown-top buggies and powder-blue doors on everything from homes to schools to milkhouses. I thought I’d share a few photos you might enjoy from last summer’s visit. Which one makes you miss summer [...]

It’s been awhile since we’ve done one of these, so I thought I’d share a few shots from an August visit to the Allen County, Indiana Amish settlement. The Allen County community is the 5th largest in Indiana and one of the two large Swiss Amish settlements in the state. Hope you enjoy the photos, [...]

After yesterday’s Arthur Amish photos, here’s another ten–from the northern Indiana Amish of Elkhart and Lagrange Counties. I’ll be taking all next week off from posting (family vacation), but will return to a regular blogging schedule Monday Sep. 19. In the meantime, we’re doing a little contest. I’ve got a few back issues of Amish [...]

It was a wonderful day in Holmes County yesterday. Early rain, which meant a lot of laundry under porches. But that went away in a hurry after noon. Here’s the proof:

A full one-third of Delaware’s counties have Amish settlements. Okay, Delaware only has three counties (yep, that kind of sounds like a joke you’d hear an Amish guy make). Delaware’s sole Amish settlement nestles against state capital Dover. Amish have been here almost 100 years. It’s a decent-sized community, actually: 9 church districts, over 1000 [...]

Last year I visited the Ethridge, Tennesse Amish community. I was surprised to find that Ethridge is the Amish mecca of the South. For being a conservative Swartzentruber community, the place is crawling with tourists (relatively speaking, of course. Lancaster County, this ain’t). It’s also a charming place to visit. It’s got a rural feel [...]

I know it’s a bit late for snowy photos, but I wanted to share one more batch of shots from the Big Valley area of Pennsylvania. Big Valley is home to three Amish groups: Nebraska, Renno, and Byler Amish. If you missed the first set, here [...]

Well, after yesterday’s “ugly” post, I felt I had to do something to redeem myself. So I hope you enjoy these shots of an Amish settlement in Hardin County, Kentucky, taken last year on a beautiful summer day (note: this first photo is not an Amish place, but is from a nearby town; all the [...]

Continuing the “10 views” series, today we have photos of Juniata County, Pennsylvania. A couple months ago we had a post on the Juniata County Amish. This community is one of the many lesser-known Pennsylvania settlements. With 8 church districts, it’s actually a pretty sizeable one. That’s about 1000 Amish, give or take. But Juniata [...]
