Amish Fun In PA Dutch Country !
Lancaster, PA is known as PA Dutch Country because of the dense Amish population that can be found here. The Amish are a religious group, closely related to Mennonite beliefs, that shun all types of modern technology and live a very simple lifestyle. It is astounding how in modern times this group of people have held on to their beliefs and in doing so have manage to carve out a beautiful landscape of Lancaster. If it were not for the Amish this county would not look the way it does today with the beautiful acres upon acres of fields that quilt the landscape with tans and green that are especially beautiful during the Summer months. There are all kinds of tours and museums that are open for the public to get a glimpse of the life inside of the Amish community and below are a few links to these wonderful attractions.
