Your group will have a guided tour through our historic 1805 farmhouse, which was last occupied by an Amish family. Your knowledgable guide will explain the Amish history, clothing, customs and culture as you tour the various rooms of the home. See the church room, kitchens, bedrooms, clothing and more.
After your house tour, your group is free to wander our 15-acre farm, which dates back to the time of William Penn. Visit our barns and exhibits, see and interact with our farm animals, stop by our resident demonstrators (in season). Your group may want to take the walking path and wander out to our authentic and historic 1855 "Willows" Covered Bridge.
Step-on Service:
Take your group a step further! Let one of our highly-trained guides escort your group on your motorcoach through the picturesque Lancaster County countryside on a 1, 2, or 3-hour "step-on" tour. See one-room schools, Amish homes, cemeteries, buggies, barns and more as you travel the back countryside roads of Lancaster County. Your guide may stop at an Amish shop (when available) for that added experience! It's a "must-see" in Lancaster County. (Your group must have a bus or motor coach for this service.)
