Heritage Site LogoDesignated Lancaster County Heritage Site

Celebrating 50 Years in 2009!

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 Farm 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."

 

Our Heritage Site StatusInside the Homestead, we learn of Amish traditions and practices, including Sunday church services held in the house. Touring the Homestead allows us to observe up close how the Fisher family lives from day to day.

From the pantry stocked full of freshly canned vegetables to the 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 refrigerator?"
