Most visitors to Lancaster County hope to immerse themselves in the area’s renowned Pennsylvania Dutch Country or Amish Country. The Amish Village is the perfect place to learn about this culture of yesteryear, which thrives alongside the modern world. Take a step back in time as you wander through the one-room schoolhouse, the 1840 Amish farmhouse, the smokehouse and the Amish crafts store.

Aboard the popular Backcountry Bus Tour, ride in a comfortable, 14-passenger sightseeing bus, where you’ll spend 90 minutes driving along the county’s beautiful backroads, listening to stories about Amish life, history, tradition and faith, while stopping at least once at an Amish home or Amish-run business.
