Amish woodworking in Kentucky

While some retailers sell furniture produced out of state, Kentucky is also home to many Amish furniture builders lying a close distance from Louisville.  Some Amish furniture buyers prefer buying from a Louisville area retailer which offers convenience.  On the other hand, some prefer to visit Amish settlements and find an Amish furniture business directly.  While not all Amish craftsmen sell to the public, a good number do.  Visiting an Amish community in person can be a good option if you’re willing to do a little more legwork to find your Amish-made furniture.

Amish businesses are typically small in size, and located near the home of the owner (see this article by an Indiana Amish cabinet maker for a look inside an Amish furniture shop).   Amish produce custom furniture as well as standard pieces for their own retail outlets or to supply a retailer in cities such as Louisville.

For the Amish, farming is probably the most esteemed vocation, though woodworking can offer a similar model of work involving family around the home. Since furniture businesses require relatively small investments compared to dairy farming, furniture making has thus become attractive in many Kentucky Amish communities and elsewhere in Amish America where land prices may prevent all who want to farm to do so.

Amish can be found in Kentucky in dozens of locations across the state, including near Louisville.

Amish near Louisville

In recent years Kentucky has attracted interest from Amish like few other states.   Over 20 new settlements have been founded since 2000 in Kentucky (see Donnermeyer, Joseph F., and David Luthy, “Amish Settlements Across America: 2013″, Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies: Volume 1, Issue 2 (October 2013)  for more).

Amish furniture craftsmen can be found near Louisville and other areas of Kentucky.

The Bluegrass State currently has 3 dozen Amish communities within its borders. Louisville lies not only near numerous Amish settlements in Kentucky, but also within close range of communities in southern Indiana. If you’re seeking a furniture business in an Amish community, shops are typically located in relatively nondescript buildings located near Amish farms and homes.  They are often identified by simple roadside signs or by indicators at country intersections pointing the way.

With the high influx of Amish into the state and migration to found new communities, you can basically drive in nearly any direction from Louisville and soon find yourself near Amish.  However quite a few of the settlements are young and small, and not all will have furniture businesses.

We have listed a few of the more prominent Amish communities within close range of Louisville below, which either do or are likely to have furniture businesses operated by Amish in their midst.

Munfordville/Horse Cave (Grayson & Hart County)Kentucky’s largest Amish community.  Founded by Amish from northeastern Ohio in 1989, the Munfordville community has grown rapidly to become much larger than the half-dozen or so KY settlements started previous to it.  The Munfordville settlement has many small businesses including furniture makers.  There is also an auction (Hart County Produce Auction) with a significant Amish presence.  The Munfordville/Horse Cave Amish community can be reached in around an hour’s drive from Louisville.

Sonora (Hardin County): The Amish living in this small settlement lying just under an hour south of Louisville are among the most traditional.  Known as Swartzentruber Amish, they use limited technology and have a markedly plain appearance.  A few businesses can be found in this community including a tarp shop and produce sellers.

Park City/Smith’s Grove (Barren & Warren County)This Amish settlement founded in the mid-1980s is 3 congregations in size today.  Around 90 minutes south of Louisville on I-65.

Daviess County, IndianaSouthern Indiana’s largest Amish community, with around 4,000 Amish residents and dozens of small furniture and cabinet businesses.  Reachable in under 2 hours from Louisville.
