Lights Out - For many of us, electricity is a must-have necessity, but not for the Amish. Find out how the Amish live a comfortable life without the use of modern technology by checking into Arcola Flower Patch & Diamond House Bed & Breakfast in Arcola, Illinois. Ask the innkeeper to arrange a day trip to a typical Amish home, a dairy farm where Amish farmers will explain how they manage day-to-day operations or a guided tour of the neighborhood where you can visit local schools, businesses and homes. Guided tours also provide information on Amish family life, religious beliefs and lifestyles. If you want a full Amish experience, stay and dine Amish style. The innkeeper can make arrangements for you to enjoy a family meal inside an Amish home.
If you’d prefer exploring Amish country on your own, settle in to Garden Gate Get-A-Way Bed Bed & Breakfast in Millersburg, Ohio and explores Holmes County, which has the largest Amish population in the world. Take a buggy ride and shop for handmade quilts, art, furniture and baked goods. Guests that stay March 5-7, 2010 will have the opportunity to have dinner with author Paul Gaus on Saturday, March 6th. Gaus is well-known for his Amish mysteries and will discuss his books as well as the lifestyle and culture of Amish teens, a stage known as Rumschpringe.
