The Amish Village, Historical village museum in East Lampeter Township, United States
The Amish Village is a museum spread across 12 acres with a farmhouse, barn, blacksmith shop, schoolhouse, windmill, and farming facilities from the 1800s. The buildings display how people in this rural community lived and worked using traditional methods.
The area was settled about 300 years ago by Pennsylvania Dutch people who built their community in Lancaster County and kept their way of life. The farmhouse on the site dates to the 1840s and represents this long-established tradition.
The site reflects how the Amish continue to live by traditional values today, with crafts and farming methods passed down through generations. Visitors experience the daily skills and routines that shape life without modern conveniences.
Visitors can choose from different tour options to explore the village and its buildings. The best time to visit is during warmer months when the animals are most active and all facilities are fully operational.
The grounds are home to working farm animals including mules, cattle, chickens, ducks, goats, sheep, horses, and pigs that visitors see throughout the seasons. This living farm creates an authentic experience that goes beyond typical museum displays.
