WHO ARE THE AMISH PEOPLE OF AMERICA?
One thing I love about the USA is the diversity. You can pretty much find people from all cultures, religions, traditions and walks of life inside of this country of 327 million people.
One of the most interesting groups of people that I've come across are the AMISH. They are traditional Christian Anabaptists who originally have Swiss German roots, and settled (mostly) in Pennsylvania in the early 18th Century.
I went to Lancaster Country, PA today to learn all about their way of life, and it's fascinating! Have you ever heard of the Amish before?
Follow me on Instagram @DrewBinsky for more travel content. Huge thank you to Amish Farm and House for taking us around!

The Amish, sometimes referred to as Amish Mennonites, are a group of traditionalist Christian church fellowships that form a subgroup of the Mennonite churches. The Amish are known for simple living, plain dress, and reluctance to adopt many conveniences of modern technology. The history of the Amish church began with a schism in Switzerland within a group of Swiss and Alsatian Anabaptists in 1693 led by Jakob Ammann. Those who followed Ammann became known as Amish

This next several video are a series of a recent trip I took to the Amish Farm and House in Lancaster County Pennsylvania. On the trip with me is my husband Roy, my mom Edna, my cousin Sue, and her grandsons Austin and Garrett. This video is a record for my family of our experiences.
This is the horse drawn buggy at the Amish Farm and House. there is a path that runs petty much through out the entire farm. The driver of the buggy explains points a interest along the way.
For over 60 years, The Amish Farm and House has been educating countless visitors about the history and lifestyle of Lancaster's Amish community. This educational farm was the first establishment of its kind in the country. Visitors have included British Royalty, politicians, movie stars, singers, school groups, and individual families. On an average year, all 50 states will be represented.
The Farm was granted to Governor John Evans from William Penn in 1715. The farmhouse was built in 1805 and served as a home for over seven generations including Quaker, Mennonite and Amish. The property was opened to the public in 1955 and is one of the oldest continuously operating farms in Lancaster County.
When the farm was sold in 2004, many of the trees and the front fields were removed. Many of the local and out of state visitors were upset - some down right mad! Some felt the the land had been taken directly from the Amish!
Unknown to most, the majority of the original 25 acre of the Amish Farm and House were zoned commercial and therefore open for commercial development.
Unfortunately, the home and barns were not listed on a historic preservation list. And because most of the land between Lancaster City and Route 986 had already been commercialized, it was only a matter of time until the farm would be developed. The Amish Farm and house's future was uncertain. It appeared that it was destined to close and be torn down...
The new owner purchased the land in hopes to develop it into a large shopping complex, anchored by Lancaster County's first Target Store.
During the sale process, the new owner met several times with The Amish Farm and House's management. The Farm's history, heritage, and cultural importance were explained. The quality educational and cultural experiences were clearly presented to the owner. Because of these meetings, his mind changed and the majority of the farm was preserved.
Not only did the new owner keep the historic buildings. but he also invested a lot of time and money in the farm's conservation, preservation and maintenance.
New fencing was installed, the animal housing was improved, and a very picturesque buggy path was laid out the covers almost the entire 15-acre farm.
In 2006, thanks to the financial support, Lancaster County's only one room school opened specifically for tours. The Willow Lane One Room School House opened on the property!
As for the new development, the Target Store and The Covered Bridge Marketplace were accented with stone to coordinate with the farmhouse and the barn. The new stores have been a big hit with the local Amish. Apparently they love shopping at Target!
Through the 21st century bustle, The Amish Farm and House has remained a quality educational farm museum that has delighted millions. Their slogan is where today touches history. and it truly is!
The Amish Farm and House is located at 2395 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster, PA 17602. Their phone number is 717.394.6185. and for more information check out their website at amishfarmandhouse.com. and any musical selection for this video came from bensound.com
A MENNONITES FAMILY AND FARM WITH ALL THE WORK OF MILKING 80 COWS IN PENNSYLVANIA USA
The Mennonites are a Protestant group based around the church communities of the Christian Anabaptist denominations named after Menno Simons (1496--1561) of Friesland (a part of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation), who, through his writings, articulated and thereby formalized the teachings of earlier Swiss founders. The teachings of the Mennonites were founded on their belief in both the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ, which they held to with great conviction despite persecution by the various Roman Catholic and Protestant states. Rather than fight, the majority survived by fleeing to neighboring states where ruling families were tolerant of their radical belief in believer's baptism. Over the years, Mennonites have become known as one of the historic peace churches because of their commitment to pacifism (opposition to war and violence)
In contemporary society, Mennonites are both an ethnic group and a religious denomination. There is, however, still ambiguity and controversy among Mennonites about this issue, with some insisting that they are simply a religious group while others argue that they form a distinct ethnic group. Increasingly historians and sociologists treat Mennonites as an ethno-religious group.
There are about 1.6 million Mennonites worldwide as of 2009. Mennonite congregations worldwide embody the full scope of Mennonite practice from plain people to those who are indistinguishable in dress and appearance from the general population. The largest populations of Mennonites are in India, Ethiopia, Canada, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the United States, but Mennonites can also be found in tight-knit communities in at least 82 countries on six continents or scattered amongst the populace of those countries. There are German Mennonite colonies in Argentina, Belize, Bolivia,Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay,and Paraguay, who are to a large extent descendants of Mennonites living in eastern Europe, and there remains a small congregation in the Netherlands where Simons was born.
The Mennonite Disaster Service,based in North America, provides both immediate and long-term responses to hurricanes, floods, and other disasters. The Mennonite Central Committee provides disaster relief around the world alongside their long-term international development programs. Other programs offer a variety of relief efforts and services throughout the world.

This is the Willow Lane Amish One Room School House at the Amish Farm and House. This schoolhouse was built in 2006 by financial supporter specifically for tours. Today it is a fully operational school taught by the King sisters. Amish education highest grade (decided on by the Supreme Court) is eighth grade. And this video is indicative of what happens to my mind when I walk into any classroom through out my life... it's detached and very scattered, with out focus.. my attention was easily distracted to what was going on around me and outside..... sounds like every parent teacher conference my parents ever attended! lol
