In the state Pennsylvania in the United States of America, there exists a very special community. A community barely touched or influenced by technology or the pace of our modern, digital world.

    Western Marylander here! I had friend who had an old barn ! It was built in 1846! They hired some Amish to rehab their barn! They did a fantastic job! Another friend needed a new roof! She hired an Amish roofer! Again it was done and they did a great job! Good German craftsmanship! 🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙💙

    Live close to Amish in Ohio wonderful towns with lots of shopping and eating Try to get there every month love it
  • The Amish Americans are a national treasure, and should be protected as such🇺🇸🦅
  • I’m a semi truck driver and made my first delivery to an Amish community. It was a fascinating experience. First time I have interacted with the Amish. And now I am in my trucks sleeper cab watching YouTube video on the Amish.
  • I live about an hour from Lancaster here in Pennsylvania. I take my children down that way often. I find it very peaceful and calming. Almost like a second home 🏡 And most of the folks are so kind and welcoming.
  • Great job describing Lancaster County Pa. I live right here outside of Ephrata, Pa. in the heart of the Amish community. They are a group of people that I look up to because of their religious beliefs and their work ethics. You did a great job and I appreciate sharing your journey with us.
  • We're from the Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania area. In the summer time months, My husband and I vacation in Lancaster all the time . We have some quilts and most of our furniture is made by the Amish. Love this video ❣

    This way if living is so stunningly amazing. It is a special part of a heritage that should be honored and respected by everyone.

    Thanks for the tour of Lancaster county! I’ve lived in the county for about 70 years and you pointed out a few places I never visited like the pretzel stand. From my experience with the Amish, I find them honest, hard working and loyal people. They live and work with the “English” society but maintain a barrier so as to preserve their simple life. Good people.
  • I’ve been to the Amish communities in Missouri and Illinois. They’re a wonderful people and they really know how to bake and cook! Thanks Lea for taking us along. 😊
  • Great touring info., thanks for this educational journey. 👍🕊️ I have wanted to see this particular place for so many years yet I couldn't make it far beyond an Amish market in Germantown, Maryland. I'm glad that you included animal life with human culture in this tour.
  • Good day Lea. Always nice to share a wonderful moment of your trip on the East Coast every Thursday. Thanks for exposing us to Lancaster county and their great Amish community. Looking forward to next week...🙂🥨🏍
  • I love this episode!! We know a couple who live in Lancaster County, who were once in the Air Force with us. They left the Air Force after one enlistment and settled there in Lancaster County.....and started having babies!!! I'm not sure how many but at least 6 or 7....or more! Such a sweet couple, who are actually Mormon and not Amish. That part of Pennsylvania reminds me A LOT of the Rheinland Pfalz area of Germany....where I spent almost half of my Air Force career. It's no wonder why I love both places so much.......so beautiful.
  • Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Ireland. Safe & Happy travels. ☘😀✌.
  • Thank you for sharing this! I want to take my family this summer to immerse them!
