OLD ORDER MENNONITES and the LAND They Live On. Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Horse and Buggy

There are 4 groups of Old Order Mennonites or Horse and Buggy Mennonites that live in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. They are the Groffdale, Stauffer, Reidnebach, and Noah Hoover Groups. (Since this video was created the members of the Noah Hoover group have started to move away to another settlement. They weren't able to establish a settlement in the area) They are nicknamed the Wenger, Pike, and the 35ers respectively. The Noah Hoover group hasn't a nickname. Among these major groups there are split off groups that would be classified as the main group. They live an Old Order life much as the Amish in Lancaster County do. The video will further explain the differences and similarities.

I live by an old order Amish, and most of the ones you are filming are not old order. Please get your facts straight, have a good day.

I really enjoy seeing the videos about the differences berween the ones that are amish. Also having the opportunitybto see it with my own eyes.

My mom's side of the family were Quakers that came with Wm Penn in 1862, settled in Bucks Co and later what became Cecil Co. Md. after the Mason Dixon line was made. I like seeing the ram working, my Grandfather had one till they got electric in 1937. My Grandfather and uncle sold their dairy herd @ 1960, and just grew crops that my uncle sold at the hay auctions.

My bloodline was booted from Switzerland and my 7th great uncle immigrated to the new world around 1630 because of William Tells stories, He was Mennonite, I have ancestry all over Pa.

13:42 I swear one might think the horse is jamming to the song playing in the background

Enjoy your videos, we have Brethren relatives in Lancaster Co.. However, with all the good recordings of Old Mennonite singing out there, I would think it would be more fitting to have that music as background music for these videos instead of the worldly sounding music you play.

Love the song played ..It's to bad the Amish don't like to talk on camera we could learn a lot more from there perspective....Thanks for sharing this Amazing Video..🤗 Watching from Denver, Colo

I have worked with Amish, Old Order Mennonites and Conservative Mennonites. In our area the Conservative Mennonites drive cars, pickups, tractors, use cell phones and computers and the Old Order Mennonites are as in this video. The Amish here are horse power, no electricity and homes without any decoration or conveniences. There is big difference between the three groups.

One thing I have never had any of them ask me about or question my choice of religion and none of them have ever talked to me about their religion.

I see they grow their own tobacco to where can we get some seeds from.

What is the device on the creek, and what does it do?

[ladyhawk]

Who was the German ones that was in Detroit Michigan

[aezeldenrust]

Why steel on tractors, yet they are allowed rubber tires on implements?

[lars]

I wonder if they buy Dutch bikes? I would not be surprised if they did. American bicycles are engineered to fail.

[terencephillips]

Wow the lady with the large horses, did she actually punch that beautiful animal ?

[jimmybrock]

Elders decide what is allowed in community. Most Swiss German Americans r connected to Lancaster Penn in genealogy. 😊

The Bible tells us that following rules, rituals and traditions and church rule can never get one to heaven. Trying to do good is admirable but the only way to heaven is by faith in Jesus apart from all works. Jesus said if you are trying to get to heaven by works and by the law that you are cursed because cursed is everyone who tries to get to heaven by the law and doesn't keep the whole law. Mankind breaks the law everyday and cannot keep the law. Jesus kept the law 100% and when we trust Him, totally apart of our doing or works, we are born again. Jesus imputes His righteousness to us and it says we now have a better stronger law written on our hearts. Many will think they are saved by trying to follow church or doing good works and completely miss the free gift of salvation given to those who believe in Him

[glengraham]

He has it straight we are drivers been all over america there are many groups but one Bible how's that work ? And Jesus taught to pray for kingdom to come to earth!!!

[anthonymccarthy]

Is that tobacco he's harvesting? How disappointing.

[patriotstanding]

Interesting………so……steel wheels with rubber treads…….the only thing different than regular tractor tires is air……which God provides abundantly……yet they reject it. 🤔🤔
