Amish Country Tour |

We began our tour at the Amish
Experience where we saw a movie, toured a recreated one room school
filled with everything from an actual school and a typical Amish house.
They are very good at explaining what the Amish life is like and how
Amish sects differ. The same gentleman who took us through the
house and school was our guide on the afternoon bus tour. |
