Amish Farm and House
The Basics
The Amish Farm and House showcases the culture of Lancaster’s Amish communities. Families with young children can buy a farm-only pass to explore the 15-acre (6-hectare) farm and one-room schoolhouse, or watch demonstrations by resident artisans. Visitors may also opt for a guided tour of the house and farm, or a bus tour of the surrounding countryside. Hungry guests have the option to enjoy a Pennsylvania Dutch-style dinner or an Amish family barbecue (Saturdays).
