Getaway Guide: One Tank Trip to Amish Country
From old-school fashion to devout faith to some of the most beautiful communities in the country, the Amish are a mystery to many a traditional American. Their work ethic and craftsmanship are legendary, and the idea that they’ve escaped the fast-pace world for the simple life draws many a curious visitor to their communities across the country. Today, there are more than 10 Amish communities in the center of Ohio. These communities’ extreme kindness allows thousands of visitors to slip in for a visit to learn cooking, furniture making, quilting, farming techniques and, most importantly, the humble grace of a wholly different culture right in the heart of America. Pack up the car — they won’t be offended — and hit the road for a weekend getaway to Amish country and expect an experience like none other.
