An exciting trip to the land of the Amish, a glimpse into their way of living and their community. Visit the most interesting places of Pennsylvania and Lancaster County and find out more about the oldest Amish settlement in the USA.

In the state Pennsylvania in the United States of America, there exists a very special community. A community barely touched or influenced by technology or the pace of our modern, digital world.

Western Marylander here! I had friend who had an old barn ! It was built in 1846! They hired some Amish to rehab their barn! They did a fantastic job! Another friend needed a new roof! She hired an Amish roofer! Again it was done and they did a great job! Good German craftsmanship! 🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙💙

The Amish Americans are a national treasure, and should be protected as such🇺🇸🦅

Great job describing Lancaster County Pa. I live right here outside of Ephrata, Pa. in the heart of the Amish community. They are a group of people that I look up to because of their religious beliefs and their work ethics. You did a great job and I appreciate sharing your journey with us.

I’m a semi truck driver and made my first delivery to an Amish community. It was a fascinating experience. First time I have interacted with the Amish. And now I am in my trucks sleeper cab watching YouTube video on the Amish.

Thanks for the tour of Lancaster county! I’ve lived in the county for about 70 years and you pointed out a few places I never visited like the pretzel stand. From my experience with the Amish, I find them honest, hard working and loyal people. They live and work with the “English” society but maintain a barrier so as to preserve their simple life. Good people.

We're from the Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania area. In the summer time months, My husband and I vacation in Lancaster all the time . We have some quilts and most of our furniture is made by the Amish.
Love this video ❣

I’ve been to the Amish communities in Missouri and Illinois. They’re a wonderful people and they really know how to bake and cook! Thanks Lea for taking us along. 😊

I live about an hour from Lancaster here in Pennsylvania. I take my children down that way often. I find it very peaceful and calming. Almost like a second home 🏡 And most of the folks are so kind and welcoming.

Very interesting Trip. I love the Amish people, and great Respect to their horses who take them everywhere. Their life style is very obedient to God, which has my great Admiration...eventhough it is not always easy compared to European lifestyle.
