WhERE ARE ThE AMISh ShOPS?
The Amish sell their products from their homes--the Amish Trail
map will help you locate their businesses. Look for a sign in their
front yard and an OPEN sign to direct you. You will not find
any large Amish stores or commercialized Amish shopping areas
or attractions. Rural, small town, personal and friendly is what
characterizes this area instead. An authentic Amish experience!
WhAT ELSE DO I NEED TO kNOW?
• Amish shops are closed on Sundays and certain holidays.
Some shops may also close randomly for various reasons
such as a wedding, funeral, or family obligation.
• Amish do not accept credit cards.
• Slow down and drive with caution
around Amish horse & buggies.
• Do not take photos of the Amish or their children; it is against
their beliefs. Photos of buildings and scenery are allowed.
• Respect their privacy and personal property.
