Amish Farm & House (Lancaster)
Set alongside Lincoln Highway on the outskirts of Lancaster is the awesome Amish Farm & House where you can learn about the rural, religious community’s history and culture. Founded in 1955, it offers visitors an authentic and educational experience as you explore the farms, fields, houses and barns.
Fascinating to explore, the sprawling site has an old Amish-built schoolhouse for you to check out, as well as pretty paddocks and pastures full of donkeys, horses and goats. As you tour around the historic buildings with your guide, you’ll learn all about the Amish way of life and their history in Lancaster County.
In addition to delving into the farm’s nearly 300 years of history, you can sample some delicious food at the BBQ Barn and pet cute animals in the petting zoo. Before heading off, it’s well worth buying some locally produced souvenirs and going on a horse and buggy ride.
