Amish and Mennonite Culture
![Horse-drawn carriages are a common sight on Main Street, New Holland, and throughout the region.](/things-to-do/amish-and-mennonite-culture/buggy-on-main_hu232b1336ee0032eb1dd9a9277b9eec23_793201_1000x1000_fill_q75_lanczos_smart1.jpg)
Many visitors to Lancaster County come here because it’s “Amish Country” (or Pennsylvania Dutch Country). With many Amish and Mennonite families in our community, it’s inevitable that you’ll come across a few during your stay. You’ll see (and hear!) their carriages and buggies pass by the bed and breakfast. You’ll shop beside an Amish family at a thrift store or quilt shop. Maybe you’ll visit the New Holland Sales Stables (just a 10 minute walk away at 101 West Fulton Street) and watch local farmers buy and sell livestock.
But if you’re looking for a dedicated experience, there are several options all within a short drive and mostly centered around the town of Intercourse, PA (10 minutes south).
