Amish Culture Tour
Immerse yourself in the Amish culture for the entire day to get a glimpse of what it would be like to live in a different world. Start with the Illinois Amish Museum and video where you will learn who the Amish people are and what they believe before heading to their homes and farms. At the Museum, pick up your guide as you head into the countryside to see significant homes, schools, farms and businesses along the way. You will even stop in at one of these businesses to do some shopping before heading to a meal in an Amish home. This meal is complete with fried chicken, homemade bread, hearty sides, all the fixin’s, and of course, pies! Then, head to an Amish dairy farm where you will learn about milking and breeding and see an enormous draft horse used on the farm. Before heading home for the day, tour an Amish home, woodworking shop, or buggy shop to learn more about your favorite aspects of the Amish lifestyle.
