 The Amish Country Homestead is a reflection of our commitment to accurately and sensitively portray the Amish as they live and work in today's world.

The Homestead, sitting between the F/X Theater and the Plain & Fancy Dining Room is the home of the fictional Old Order Amish family of Daniel and Lizzie Fisher, whom you have met and gotten to know in the F/X Theater's showing of "Jacob's Choice".

Inside the Homestead, we learn of Amish traditions and practices, including Sunday church services held in the home. We'll tour the 9 rooms on the first and second floors and learn up close how the Fisher family lives from day to day.

From the pantry stocked full of freshly canned vegetables to family's plain clothes ... from propane-powered lamps to air-compressor driven appliances...the Amish Country Homestead truly provides an insight into the complex riddles of a culture so very different from our own. Guides answer such questions as, "if a bottled gas refrigerator is permitted, why not an electric one?" You will find the tour both fascinating and educational.

The Amish Country Homestead is the only Amish house open for guided tours that has received designation as a Lancaster County Heritage Site, both for its authenticity in portraying Amish life today and for the interpretive information provided by the guides. Length: approx. 45 minutes.

2008 Adult admission to the Homestead is $8.95, child admission (4-12) $4.95.
