Amish Experience Trolley Tour: Bridges to Understanding
Odyssey826215
Visit the only place in the world that the Amish and Mennonite communities come to vacation en masse and learn about their culture with your tour guide. On this tour, the goal is to create a “bridge of understanding” about these wonderfully unique and close-knit communities. You will learn about the history of their religious beliefs, values, traditions and practices of daily life. Visit Pinecraft, where 500+ Amish and Mennonite families live year-round and where 5,000+ return each season from Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana to vacation. Enjoy stops at Alma Sue’s Quilt Shop, The Carlisle Inn and Der Dutchman for shopping and a delicious pie shooter! Gain a new appreciation of the rich culture on this Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence-rated tour. *During April there may be variations of the tour because typically many of our Amish tourists have returned home, therefore we may visit a local Amish furniture maker to learn about carpentry and its importance to their culture.
