The story of this religious community in Pennsylvania dates back to the 16th-century Reformation in Europe, when the Anabaptist movement spurred the creation of three "plain" communities: the Amish, Mennonites, and Brethren. Although these spiritual groups have similarities, the Amish are the most conservative, emphasizing humility, family, community and separation from the non-Amish world, which includes a reluctance to adopt modern conveniences such as electricity. Members of this conservative Christian faith came to Pennsylvania in the 1720s to escape persecution in Europe for their Anabaptist beliefs. Many early Anabaptists were put to death as heretics by both Catholics and Protestants – as a result of this, the Amish began their tradition of holding worship services in homes rather than in churches.The Pennsylvania Amish community in Lancaster County is the oldest and largest Amish community in the United States, numbering about 30,000. The picturesque landscape of this region is lovely – there are rolling hills with lush grasses and crops, horse-drawn buggies sharing the road with cars, and farms with windmills dotting the horizon. Fresh fruit and produce are sold from roadside stands and directly from farms – after one bite, you will agree that there is nothing quite as delicious as a crisp, juicy apple that has just been picked! You can tour an Amish farm and its farmhouse and explore what life was like here over 200 years ago. This serene and simple pace of life and the surrounding quaintness are truly a unique and wonderful slice of Americana – visiting this region is an experience you will never forget!Take advantage of Choice Hotels and all that they have to offer you while you are near Amish Country.
