I did a video looking at ten unusual Amish communities. Across 600 different communities and dozens of affiliations, you can notice quite a number of differences in the ways Amish people live and manifest their faith. So what makes these communities unusual or atypical? It could be something about how they worship, or get around, or other aspects of how they live. I drew on…
I wanted to point out a book written by Suzanne Woods Fisher called Amish Peace: Simple Wisdom for a Complicated World, just released last month. I liked a couple of things about this book in particular. Suzanne has a real gift for writing, and my blurb on the back cover, that she “plants the reader inside Amish living rooms, barns, kitchens, and schoolhouses” I wouldn’t…
How about some winter shots from the New Wilmington, Pennsylvania Amish community? This is one of my favorite Amish settlements, dating back to my first visit one autumn going on 15 years ago. While the sights I saw then were of hues that matched more closely to the distinct brown-topped buggies of the local Amish, the wintry images in these photos better reflect our current…
From the “Off-the-Amish-Beaten-Path Files” (not really a thing, but maybe it should be a thing): Reader Denise sends in a nice little account of an Amish store in a corner of Iowa. The community is Chariton, in Lucas County. I know little about it beyond what Denise shares, and what clues I can gather here and there. The Amish settlement list tells me this settlement…
It’s the ‘long weekend’ in Poland (a combination of the traditional May 1st communist worker’s holiday and Poland’s May 3 constitution day), and I’ve just paid another visit to my friends Jacob and Anita Martin, whom I’ve written about a few times on the blog. The Martins, who’ve lived in Poland since 1993, struggled a bit at first, but have been able to build themselves…
Earlier this month, Don Burke gave us the story of how he first visited the Amish in Ohio, along with photos from that trip. We left off as he and his wife Pam were about to continue on — for a first visit to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. So let’s rejoin them now for the next portion of the journey… Don: As we ended the previous…

Though I am ready for spring here near Illinois Amish country, I love this shot! “an aaaahhhh inspiring experience” at the end of a very long and stressful day. thank you so much…….
Beautiful shot! Interesting diagonal composition, inspiring light and colors. I can smell the cold, crisp air all the way down here in Louisiana. And thanks for posting the photo this large (more often, please!).
oooohhhhhh a covered bridge, lovely picture…..
Glad you liked it! And Brian you’re giving me too much credit, but thank you!
It’s a good guess, but not the one–Cocalico is a very scenic spot as well. Will give you another shot though, if you want it!
Zook’s Mill bridge? Just a guess…
Erik, thanks for a wonderful pause in my day . . . a feel the gentle sway and hear the clip/clop!
