I drove a school bus for a handicap program. I picked up Amish in Middlefield, Ohio. I got to know some of these families quite well. One of the adult Amish I was driving into the school/workshop passed away. My bus aide and I were invited in to see her body with the parents. We were honored to be invited. I've never seen a buggy before that was equipted to carry a casket. My heart sunk as we passed this on the road the next day. Thank you for making these videos and clearing many myths up about the Amish people. Once you get to know them, they are some of the nicest people around.

One tradition some Amish follow is cleaning their home thoroughly top to bottom before and after hosting their fellow parishioners for church some weeks in a row before they all then have services in the next home in the district, in cycles. Some use their large basements for the meetings. Their houses are typically neat, uncluttered and very very clean. Homey and welcoming as well.

[@SusanneMBarrett]

My dad grew up in Millersburg, Ohio, in Holmes County. His family had moved there pre-Civil War, and my great-grandfather was the town pharmacist and spoke Pennsylvania Dutch with his customers, about half of which were Amish. In the 1950s, my dad delivered prescriptions via bicycle and also dispensed medications (which certainly wouldn't be allowed now!). I grew up with a fascination with the Amish, and we visited Millersburg in 1977 when I was in fifth grade. Little House on the Prairie was among the most popular TV shows then, and I returned to Southern California with my sunbonnet just like Laura's and Mary's. In college, I wrote a research paper for my linguistics class on the Pennsylvania Dutch language. Thanks for this tour of an Amish home!! :D

The word should be deutch- or low German. Dutch or Nederlandish is the language of the people of the Netherlands.

German , Austrian, and Swiss people speak several German dialects .The children learn High German at school and so do the Amish children. Low German, similar to the Amish German is still spoken in North west Germany , but is dying out.

[@virginiasoskin9082]

Amish life is extremely labor intensive so a modern person might not like that aspect. No electricity for one. No modern bathrooms for many; chamberpots under the bed that need to be dumped come morning. No dishwashers, no washer/dryer, no music, not even classical; no car, no weather forecasts, canning in the heat of the summer, garden planted, weeded all summer, then canning/drying the food. Sewing all your clothes and quilts (those I can do, but so few women sew nowadays!). It would be very hard for non-Amish to adjust to. Simplicity is one thing, but never reading quality books, going to a movie, sending an e-mail, making a phone call, having to hitch up horse and buggy in all weathers, just to get groceries, kids getting a lousy education -- it is an extremely restrictive life. I am PA German but not plain. My grandparents spoke PA German fluently and my Mom could understand quite a bit and speak it too. My generation went to college and moved to different areas of the country. We still like our PA German foods, customs, and stuff, but that restrictive lifestyle is not for everyone. Perhaps there are Amish families that take in boarders, so you could try it and see what it is like for real. That might be interesting!

[@garbo8962]

My buddy lived in Lancaster Pa and during a weekend stay he took us for a tour of an Amish community. None of the houses had electrical or telephone wires in the house or screens. One house very close to the road we were in had a couple of pies cooling off on window still but loaded with flies. Never purchased Amish food after that.

I live a half hour from a decent sized Mennonite community. They have an Amish Heritage Center that hosts events, and they have a house on the property that people can tour. One of the most fascinating features to me was the removable wall panels in the downstairs. They could remove a panel and turn it into a great room to host people. The homes to me in general just have so much personality as well as practicality. They are designed for family and community which I think so many people desperately long for these days.

This reminds me so much of when I would visit my grandparents in the early '90s in northern Alabama. They weren't Amish, but grew up very poor and very rural. When I saw that tablecloth, my fingers could feel the felt backing on the other side. People forget that in a lot of the country indoor plumbing is a development within living memory.

Great observation, the neatness and orderliness here - and in other listings - is really appealing.

Thanks for the tour! :) Nice easy on the eye interiors; they have a slight "Shaker" simplicity about them. There's a quote, "Cleanliness is next Godliness." Maybe this is partly why the Amish live this way? A home cluttered with lots of stuff is much harder to clean & organize. Especially when many kids & often outdoor-working parents are walking in & out all day long. Simple open rooms are just easier to dust, sweep & mop. (That's a great price for the two homes & all the acreage - wow. And you know they've been well cared for.)

I am PA German (not plain) and this home reminded me a lot of my grandparents' home in PA. The local insurance company calendar was standard, a large breakfront holding at least 12 place settings of stoneware for big family dinners, our women all had LOTS of canned goods shelved in the basement -- that they had canned themselves to carry a family through the winter. Of course, grandparents' house had the front room or parlor with a 1950s modern sofa and older rush seat comfortable wooden chairs -- no soft easy chairs. And a 1960s cabinet TV in the corner. They had dark green window shades and no curtains or drapes, so quite plain. My grandparents got up prior to sunrise and bedded down about 8 PM so they didn't do a ton of reading or watching TV past sundown. These Amish houses have no carpets because they have to be able to sweep the floors without vacuums, in contrast to my grandparents' front and middle rooms which had carpets, one wall to wall, the other an older Victorian carpet. The Amish houses have no furniture groupings, squishy sofas, no end tables with electrical lamps for reading, few if any books, no phones, radios, TVs, electric clocks or computers to connect family with their neighbors or the greater world. You wonder how much education the children get -- not much about the outside world, lots of religious training and memorization of old German texts, ending school at age 13. There were a few thin books beside one of the child's beds but that is it. Very old plain furniture and it is ALL placed up against the wall so there is a huge area of floor that has nothing on it. Not conducive to conversation. The Amish furniture is decades old and NOT antique quality. But yes, many quilts -- every wife knew how to make quilts and the mother and girls' dresses. We ALL had mother's and grandmother's handmade exquisite quilts for our beds and they got a lot of use in winter. I still have many of them. By seeing the wash room/mud room and kitchen with no dishwasher, you can tell an Amish wife's life is extremely labor intensive as is the farmer's work putting hay into a hay wagon by hand. Kids are taught chores VERY early and do a LOT of work compared to modern kids. I wish we could see the bathrooms or where they wash themselves. Do they do that in the kitchen near the stove so water heated on the stove can be poured into a tub? Outhouses can be arctic in winter so they probably have chamber pots under their beds which they have to dump in the AM. That kind of life is do-able for an outsider but extremely restrictive. I would not want to be Amish -- no connection with the outside world is not living life to the fullest in my opinion. At least if you live in the modern world you can let in what you want in your home and disregard the rest. With the Amish it is AUTOMATIC restriction and NO rebellion or you get kicked out of the church and your family members shun you FOREVER. This creates so much shame, family division, and hard hearts. What the bishops (all men, of course) say, goes. Period. It is sad. They exert extreme control over the families in their particular jurisdiction. I lived seeing Amish every day growing up and we had a Mennonite girl in my class in school. She wore the white prayer cap and braids. She was a nice girl but rather shy and quiet. Amish life is not like women read about in those Amish romance novels. It is hard work and I don't even know if Amish women use birth control, so they are absolutely tied down to home with tons of kids underfoot.

[@joreggelt442]

(Very informative) It is like living 19th century in present century. Such a way of life is a very romantic picture for an outsider. I guess for them it is ok as well, but I, still, do pity them for their hard work and no use of amenities. Off grid should be only by choice, not by birth 😁

When there is a larger farm in Germany there's often an extra little house in which the grandparents live. In Bavaria it is called "Austragshaus" (or Austragshäusl/Austragsheisl) because when an older farmer retires he is called as an "Austragsbauer" (or "im Austrag sein") ... A funny old-fashioned saying is in Bavaria and Austria if soneone goes to the bathroom (to the toilet): "Auf's Häusl (or Heisl) gehen" or "zum Häusl (Heisl) gehen" because in formerly times people did not have a toilet or a bathroom inside the home - it was in a little shed on the property. So in English it means "Going to the shed" 🙂Maybe the Amish have a similar saying in PA Dutch for that "business". Many greetings from Bavaria, Philipp

Here, in America, we have Dawdy/Dody "Grandpa" houses and just "out houses". Many of our ancestors came from Berne, Switzerland. I remember when my Dawdys got inside plumbing and bathroom. Welcome to Montana Haven. Karen Yoder/Yetter/Joter

@@karenenglish4900 Thank you very much for your reply. I find it so interesting how the Amish still live today. I another video I saw an Amish church service and the dialect reminded me of the dialect they speak in Palatinate or northern Baden-Wuerttemberg. Many greetings to you from Philipp

@@philippbock3399 How neat. My ancestors were from the Palatinate region. Last name was Straub but became Stroup in the States.

@@philippbock3399 nice to meet you. I've heard some of our dialect is maybe Platt Dutch. My little first language helped me while my hubby and I lived in Germany in the 60s. You can KZbin "Montana Haven" and watch their stories and heritage. Ms Priscilla speaks more Swiss. Welcome to Amish America.

[@philippbock3399]

@@HotRod12667 Thank you very much for your reply. Many emigrants to the USA changed their names. Some were too complicated or they were just written in a wrong way. Someone who had the name "Neumann" changed it into "Newman" etc. But sometimes the name "... mann" (instead of ... man) is still used. Recently I saw a dokumentation which was usually made in the USA but translated into German an there was a lady who had the name "Wittmann" My family name "Bock" means "buck" (or just a male deer, sheep, goat) - so it would fit to the Amish perfectly 🙂 I come from Bavaria and our dialect is similar to Austrian German (it is called "Bavarian-Austrian" language group). I saw a video here on yt from the Hutterites and it was like a mixture of Austrian and Englisch, but also very interesting.

The Amish house impressed me. I really liked the color palette they use, the patterns on blankets and carpets, as well as natural materials, by the way, a solid wood bed (and other furniture) is quite an expensive thing. In general, the Amish have a taste.

[@nanetten6238]

This was wonderful! Please show more Amish homes. Thank you.

[@AmishAmerica]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Christine.corneille]

Those blue colors are beautiful

[@amberenyeart4833]

I've been invited into many of the Swiss Amish homes in South Whitley and Ft. Wayne IN. One thing that sticks out is they keep their decorations from their weddings and display it on their walls. The women use a lot of pink floral decorations and beads. Usually they also get a clock or decoration that lights up (by battery I'd assume). Their basements are concrete with polished plywood ceilings and are where Christmas parties are held. Other than that the houses are the same as the video.

[@AmishAmerica]

Very interesting I spent a couple weeks among the Amish at Fort Wayne and visited South Whitley for a little while. This was back in 2006 but you could see an economic difference between them

[@amberenyeart4833]

@@AmishAmerica oh definitely. The church in South Whitley is much more conservative than the Ft. Wayne one.

[@thewiseguy3529]

There's a company in Amish country that makes cabinetry for some of the high-end RVs and it is beautiful stuff. Exquisite woodworking.

[@colliecoform4854]

I enjoy seeing Amish homes and would even consider buying one if thevprice was right considering the costs involved in installing plumbing and electricity.

[@shellyshell3622]

I love how you say home 🏡 😌 I'm from England 🇬🇧 😀

[@christinepreece5320]

Where I am in SE Ohio we would call these new Amish they have alot more creature comforts and personal items than the "old" Amish would have. Also all the bright colors really stood out to me as new Amish.

[@deniseborg2906]

That was so interesting. I love learning about the Amish....

[@kimberlyholt2241]

I would absolutely LUV to have that lifestyle!

[@becky5937]

More home tours please. Are you able to film a week in the life of Amish people? What do they do each day from wake to sleep?hygiene (meaning flouride free toothpaste,homemade, miswacks, or regular toothbrush and tooth paste,etc)? For fun? Vacation? Do they make their own medicine and have their own doctors? How do they keep cool during heat waves in summer (non modern Amish). What do they do to keep out mice and such pests? How do they handle family conflict? (asking because I want to learn how to get along with people I live with everyday in a small city apartment).

[@pamelacourtney8998]

I love the daughty house. Just the right size for grandparents. Blessings to all ❤

[@theupscriber65]

I raised 2 kids in a 1000 square foot house. Downsized from 1700 sqft.. it could be a little too cozy at times but we enjoyed being close and the kids were more motivated to play outside.

[@carriearagon2994]

Thank you for sharing! Your accent is very interesting to me.

[@jeanholley5820]

It does make me wonder if someone other than Amish could purchase a house like this. Retrofitting electric bathrooms air conditioning in the general comforts we are accustomed to would be costly. What a wonderful idea to do this video, thanks as always!

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hi how are you doing?

[@peterjones3226]

I'm buying something very similar to this and moving in on September 1st I have to hook up the electricity. I love the washroom area I've got a farm with 300 head of livestock so it's going to be an awesome place to come into. They don't have running hot water in the house. No bath or shower. Six bedrooms upstairs. It doesn't have the huge porch that they have and I think I going to add that. I'm sure my Amish neighbors are not too happy about me being their new neighbor but it was out of their price range. I'm bringing a sawmill a lumber dryer and a pasture raised meat business so we'll still get along fine

[@vjhreeves]

All that retrofitting, may as well tear the thing down and start over

[@peterjones3226]

You would tear down a $250,000 structure. They do have Plumbing in that laundry room they do have water lines running in you don't need HVAC. If you want to live in a gated community with all the bells and whistles and pay the money then do it . the point of an Amish house in an Amish community is pretty much you want to be off the grid you pretty much want to have wood Heat. If you haven't lived under those conditions for a few years you have no business going near an Amish house. By the way the only code in some communities is just a building permit no inspection thereafter.

[@HotRod12667]

Hopefully Amish would buy this or someone wanting to live off grid.

[@Shaker_Hill_Sugarworks]

Great video Erik. Looks like an EZ Coal coal burning stove in the living room of the main house and Hitzer 30-95 coal stove in the grandparents house.

[@AmishAmerica]

Thanks Pete! I will take your word for it as I don't have the eye for stoves:)
