Amish Back Roads

Have you ever considered visiting Amish country? Christian Tours will get you there, and you will be traveling through the beautiful Amish back roads. Many of the Amish live in Pennsylvania today, and they speak Pennsylvania German (also known as Pennsylvania Dutch), and they are part of the pride of America. Amish history is something that has been woven into fabric of America from the very beginning. From the charming farmlands to the level of craftsmanship found in their furniture and quilts, the Amish take pride in their simple lifestyle.

One example of Amish tradition would be a quilting bee. This would be considered a social gathering, where friends and family would socialize while working to complete their quilts in a timelier manner. There are also times when these gatherings turn into a competition, and this would be done to determine which individual or team could complete their quilt first. This is just one aspect of the Amish culture that people find interesting.

People in the world look at the Amish with interest because they wonder how they live in a separate community from modern society. They can only imagine what it must be like to give up modern convenience such as computers and automobiles. The Amish are known for plain clothes and their rejection of modern technology, so take a step back to a simpler time when people depended on a horse drawn buggy as a main means of transportation. Experience the beauty of the Amish countryside and all that it entails.
