I drove a school bus for a handicap program. I picked up Amish in Middlefield, Ohio. I got to know some of these families quite well. One of the adult Amish I was driving into the school/workshop passed away. My bus aide and I were invited in to see her body with the parents. We were honored to be invited. I've never seen a buggy before that was equipted to carry a casket. My heart sunk as we passed this on the road the next day. Thank you for making these videos and clearing many myths up about the Amish people. Once you get to know them, they are some of the nicest people around.

What's a hoom?

Jokes aside, it's nice to see how humble they live. A fulfilling house doesn't need many things, just good people!

The "plastic-rubber " material on the tables is oilcloth. One upon a time it was more widely used. I remember rural relatives used it to cover kitchen and dining tables.

I love these homes. They are so simple, neat, stress free, clean. We have too much clutter in our home and it definitely is not as organized. I just love the simplicity of it. I can see myself living in a home like this. Also, these homes seem very similar to the home of a homesteader, who values simplicity, living off the land, canning, providing for their families without any kind of help or working a job, making their own home and furniture, etc.

My buddy lived in Lancaster Pa and during a weekend stay he took us for a tour of an Amish community. None of the houses had electrical or telephone wires in the house or screens. One house very close to the road we were in had a couple of pies cooling off on window still but loaded with flies. Never purchased Amish food after that.

My dad grew up in Millersburg, Ohio, in Holmes County. His family had moved there pre-Civil War, and my great-grandfather was the town pharmacist and spoke Pennsylvania Dutch with his customers, about half of which were Amish. In the 1950s, my dad delivered prescriptions via bicycle and also dispensed medications (which certainly wouldn't be allowed now!). I grew up with a fascination with the Amish, and we visited Millersburg in 1977 when I was in fifth grade. Little House on the Prairie was among the most popular TV shows then, and I returned to Southern California with my sunbonnet just like Laura's and Mary's. In college, I wrote a research paper for my linguistics class on the Pennsylvania Dutch language. Thanks for this tour of an Amish home!! :D

One tradition some Amish follow is cleaning their home thoroughly top to bottom before and after hosting their fellow parishioners for church some weeks in a row before they all then have services in the next home in the district, in cycles. Some use their large basements for the meetings. Their houses are typically neat, uncluttered and very very clean. Homey and welcoming as well.

Running water at the kitchen sink but no bathroom, just an old outhouse! THAT is a surprise.

I love everything Amish, they have this graceful elegance about them

My grandmother is German/Pennsylvania Dutch from eastern PA. She’s not Amish but I noticed many of the same decor items/influences in her home like in the Amish home. Lots of quilts, wooden furniture, simple decor on the wall, etc. Something about the simplicity and minimalistic nature of these homes is very appealing. 😊

My husband and I inherited some of his grandmother's Amish-made furniture, and it is sturdy stuff! I hope to have it all my life. A wonderful reminder of her legacy of quiet, tidy and quality homemaking wisdom.

I noticed the handicapped access ramp. This is a very nice house and the price alone is reasonable for the acreage. I wish I were half as good a housekeeper.

I'm sure that you Erik notice the lack of a background buzzing or humming that the Amish homes have ..even in a regular English home with all the TV's and radios with everything off in the house there is still some different noise that the Amish homes don't have..they always seem so quiet and peaceful.. other than children and critters etc..lol

Delightful to see a home without a giant flat screen TV and electronics everywhere....and I live in Marin County, CA!

These are so homely. Just add some electricity and modern plumbing and I'm sold.

Love all of your videos!!
Thank you!!
We get our wood every year from a very nice Amish couple not far from where we live, and when our truck broke down while getting a load, the wife was nice enough to give my husband a ride in the their buggy all the way home to retrieve my truck!
Great people!! ❤️❤️

My one set of Amish neighbors remodeled an older "English " farmhouse for themselves. The land connects to a brother's farm which is convenient. This house already had an annex to it so his parents moved into there with the youngest sister.

When I saw the interior pics, I thought, "Where's the clutter"? 😂

The typical American would have a home like this stuffed to the rafters with unnecessary crap from Walmart. We have a lot to learn from the Amish. Their style of living is very utilitarian. Everything has a purpose.

I live a half hour from a decent sized Mennonite community. They have an Amish Heritage Center that hosts events, and they have a house on the property that people can tour. One of the most fascinating features to me was the removable wall panels in the downstairs. They could remove a panel and turn it into a great room to host people. The homes to me in general just have so much personality as well as practicality. They are designed for family and community which I think so many people desperately long for these days.
