 The Amish Experience has been welcoming student groups to Lancaster County for education and entertainment, not to mention great dining, for nearly 50 years. We have been and remain active in the Pennsylvania Dutch Convention & Visitors Bureau, ABA (American Bus Association), NTA (National Tour Association), and PBA (Pennsylvania Bus Association) among others. Working with local teachers and local experts, we have created what is probably the area's best study guide on Amish culture. A copy of the 23-page guide will be provided free of charge at your request upon booking your school trip with us. The guide provides an introduction, list of study topics, a history of the Amish, pre-trip activities, questions to answer during the visit, and post-trip discussion ideas. Special sections focus on the Martyrs Mirror, Amish districts, plain clothing, one-room schools, the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect, and the horse and buggy. There is also a glossary of terms for teachers and a suggested bibliography. Materials can be copied and adapted for various grade levels and subject interests.
