Amish Homes

What are Amish homes like inside? The posts below show the interiors of dozens of Amish homes from around the country. You'll see kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, basements, and other spaces. Notice how some of the homes are plainer than others, reflecting different Amish groups.

We look at different aspects of Amish homes in these posts - lighting, plumbing, bathrooms, decor, furniture, and more. You'll also see some atypical Amish homes here. Most photos are from online sources - real estate listings or auction sites.

A reader shared this week’s Amish home, currently advertised for sale at Zillow among other places. It technically has an Etna Green address, which would make it the south side of the Nappanee, Indiana settlement.

So I made my post on 5 common features in Amish homes (which you may have read already) into a video. This has the advantage over the post of having a lot more images illustrating the points. So if you’ve read the post already, you might still enjoy this video. In this one, I focused […]

What is an “Ohio Nebraska” Amish home? It’s a home of a Nebraska Amish family located in Ohio. And who are the Nebraska Amish? This is a small group of traditionally quite conservative Amish, who originated in Pennsylvania. Am I making this sound more confusing than it actually is? Well, their name comes from the […]

If you drove by this home and this is what you saw, would you think it was Amish? How about if you drove down the lane and came upon this view? This home in the New Wilmington Amish community is described at its realtor.com listing as “English built – Amish Owned”. From both the outside […]

When I put together these posts every week, I try to think of a catchy description to capture some essential aspect of the home in question. And “cramped” was the first word that came to mind here. Maybe “cozy” is the positive-connotation alternative I could have used, but no, “cramped” seems to fit. The home […]

Today’s Amish home comes from a little Swiss Amish community up in the northeast corner of Indiana. The Hoosier State is known for its Swiss Amish population, as it’s home to the two largest, at Adams County (Berne) and Allen County (Grabill). This Swiss settlement at Hamilton (Steuben County) has been there for over half […]

This week we drop in on Dunn County, Wisconsin with, I believe, the highest-priced property we’ve seen so far in this ongoing series. This one has some great photos both from the outside and inside. You can really tell a difference with photos taken with a better camera and good angles. A reader brought this […]

This home caught my eye for two reasons – the photos, especially the exterior shots, which are quite vivid (might be a camera filter, plus spring conditions), and because this appears to be the home of a family from a New Wilmington-related settlement. I am basing this on three things. First, the blue doors, as […]

Next Friday, March 19th, will be a big day for the Alvin and Wilma Borntrager family of Vestaburg, Michigan. That’s when their 80-acre farm – house, equipment, 105 cows – goes up for auction. Jim Halverson alerted me to this sale listing, which opens with a simple description: “Haveing [sic] decided to move Alvin and […]

This property is located in Maine, in the Whitefield community which started up several years ago. It’s the first Maine home we’ve looked at here. The home has a pretty unique look for an Amish home. First of all, it is clearly not an Amish-built home. The barn style is one clue to that. Even […]
