To hopefully close the book on an awful story, the Lancaster County man who shot and killed an Amish-owned horse has been given 1-2 years in prison, plus probation (hat tip to commenter City Slicker): According to testimony at Diggs’ March preliminary hearing, Diggs was a passenger in his own car when the horse was shot last Nov. 24 in East Lampeter Township. Horse owner Levi Lapp was driving…
Do Amish visit doctors? The short answer is yes, but it depends – on the situation, individual, and other factors. In addition, Amish people make use of a range of health and wellness solutions outside of conventional medicine. I explain in this video and briefly go through five of them. If you’d prefer to read posts that this video is based on, you can check…
My Amish friend Aaron recently informed me of a curious entry into the Red Bull Flugtag contest. But first, Aaron had to explain what Flugtag actually is. Flugtag is a “flight” competition the Austrian energy drink* maker puts on each year. Teams ride homemade contraptions down a 30-foot high ramp, jumping and soaring into water below. “Flugtag” (pronounced “flewg tallg”) means “fly day” in German,…
Law enforcement in Ohio is pulling out all the stops in their hunt for the hit-and-run (aka “hit-skip”) driver who struck a scootering Amish couple on New Year’s Eve and fled.

Yesterday I attended an Amish church service in a friend’s district. Â I only really fell asleep one time, during the ten-minute kneeling prayer near the very end. But I had at least roused myself by the time everyone stood up. Â I clambered to my feet, but nearly keeled over sideways as I tried to shake the sleep out of my head. I can only imagine…

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.
