Erik welcomeHello, my name is Erik Wesner.  I’m not Amish, but I’ve visited over 5,000 Amish homes and written 2 books on the Amish (more on that here).

Amish America is viewed by over 120,000 people each month.  Since 2006 we’ve published nearly 1,500 articles and posts on nearly every Amish-related topic.  Some things you might enjoy:

 

Amish can be found in 28 states + Canada.   Read more in the Amish State Guide.  Sample articles:

There are over 400 Amish communities across North America.

 

You can read interviews with Amish authors, researchers and Amish individuals.  Or view a list of recommended Amish books.  Or participate in some of our most popular Amish discussion posts.

 

 

You can also submit a question about the Amish (consider checking the Amish Online Encyclopedia first).
