Tours begin in the Front Room where the Amish typically hold Sunday worship services. Lasting between four and five hours, much of these services are spent singing and chanting in the Amish dialect. Guides will usually play a sample of these soothing and hypnotic songs before moving on with the tour.

In the kitchen, guides explain that the Amish practically live in this one all-important room. Regarded as the center of the home, quality bonding time here keeps the family strong. Upstairs in the bedrooms, visitors learn about the strict codes of traditional dress and how today's Amish have adapted these rules a bit. Will an Amish businessman carry a cell phone? Yes! Will an Amish woman wear a down jacket under her shawl in winter? Yes! Will the kids rollerblade? Of course!

After the house tour, visitors may stroll around the 25-acre farmstead on their own. This is where the self-sufficiency of the Amish really hits. From food and refrigeration to fertilizer and building materials, everything these people need can be found on their farms. A waterwheel brings cold spring water into the kitchen to power the refrigerator. The lime kiln provides a site for making mortar and fertilizer. The barn provides shelter for livestock and space for threshing hay, drying corn and curing tobacco. The windmill pumps water from the cistern for the animals. Perhaps the most amazing thing about a working Amish farm today is the engineering. Everything works in perfect fashion without the aide of electricity. Furthermore, all these intricate components are created with an eighth grade education and the good advice passed down through generations!

The Amish Farm and House is open to visitors year-round. The hours change with the seasons, so it is best to call ahead. Information sheets are available in a host of different languages and guides encourage questions. There is a large gift shop filled with many beautiful works and a corn maze able to confuse the wits of anybody.
