Cleveland + Amish Country Day Trip - South
Leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind when you venture into Ohio's Amish Country, just one hour south of Cleveland in Holmes and adjacent counties to the south and east. Approximately 25,000 Amish settled in this area, creating quaint towns, making it one of the largest Amish settlements in the world. The Amish have preserved their heritage as evidenced by the horsedrawn buggies, homemade family-style foods, and exceptional craftsmanship. Remember, while the Amish are happy to share with visitors, being photograhed is against their religion.
