Amish Farm and House

2395 Covered Bridge Drive · Lancaster, PA

Why you should go…

Opened in 1955 as the first Amish-focused attraction in the country, the Amish Farm and House sits on 15 acres around a nearly 300-year-old farmhouse and schoolhouse. Visitors can tour the historic house, feed farm animals, try an Amish scooter, and watch local artisans like a blacksmith and wood carver at work, or ride along on a guided bus tour of the surrounding countryside.

Good to know

General sightseeing guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • The forecast is part of the ticket

    Haze, low cloud, and rain flatten a view. Clear-day visits are worth rearranging your plans for.

  • Golden hour sells out first

    Sunset slots at observation decks and cruises are the first to go, so book those further ahead.

  • Dress a layer warmer

    It is always breezier up high and out on the water than it feels at street level.

  • Timed entry is common

    Plenty of landmarks release tickets in windows rather than at the door, so check before you walk over.
