Amish Buggy Near Berlin, Ohio

The beautiful and intriguing Berlin, Ohio area is the heart of the state's Amish country. The Amish share a strong faith and live a simple life. Most Amish folk choose to forgo modern conveniences and practice their traditional customs based upon time-honored beliefs. The Berlin area (and Amish country in general) is a land of striking contrasts. Modern automobiles share the roads with horses and buggies. One farm might be tilled with a tractor while the next one relies on horses and mules. It is simply amazing how well the traditional lifestyle of the Amish seems to co-exist with the fast-paced 21st century world of "the English". If you enjoy picturesque rural landscapes and friendly people, you'll love the Amish areas of Ohio. Holmes County's Amish Country Byway is a must-visit for any Berlin, OH Amish area vacation. You'll be able to witness the simple Amish and Mennonite lifestyles while enjoying some of the most spectacular scenery in the country!   Picture Of The Day Homepage Interesting Articles
