Amish Farm and House

House Tour

Experience Lancaster's Living Heritage at America's first Amish attraction! Come explore where today touches history at the Amish Farm & House and learn about the unique culture of Lancaster County's Old Order Amish. Our historic 1805 farmhouse, which was last occupied by a real Amish family, is furnished like a modern Amish house. Your highly-knowledgeable guide will explain the Amish history, clothing, customs and culture as you see the various rooms of the home. Learn the reasons and the "whys" behind many of their traditions.

Farm Tour

Afterwards, wander our 15-acre farm that was part of a 1715 land grant from Pennsylvania's founder, William Penn. Follow the walking paths as you see a wide variety of farm animals - sheep, cows, chickens, goats, donkeys, a miniature horse and many more! Step into our historic barns and exhibits including an authentic tobacco stripping room and an original blacksmith shop. Be sure to check out the Willow Lane One-Room Schoolhouse, located right here on our property. Not just a room of a home - it's the area's only Amish school designed and opened for the public!

Local Artisans

Stop to see our resident demonstrators. Visit Chris, the nationally-known woodcarver, who turns simple tree branches into unique wooden roosters. Wander into the quilt shop and watch the resident quilter as she works on her unique creations.

Amish Countryside Tours

We are Lancaster's original 90-minute mini bus tour through the Amish farmlands. Join us on one of our 14-passenger mini buses as we tour the famous picturesque Lancaster County countryside. Our tours are designed to be interactive and personalized so that you, our guest, have the best experience while you visit our hometown. Our highly-knowledgeable driver-guides explain the Amish culture, local history and customs and more! Keep your camera ready as you see Amish schoolhouses, buggies, barns, farms, historic homes, and beautiful farmland vistas. We may even drive through one of our historic covered bridges that dot the local countryside. Your tour will stop at a quaint Amish roadside stand (when open) for that added experience. This is a great supplement to our acclaimed guided house tour. Your visit to Lancaster County is not complete without the Countryside Tour!
