Holmes County

· Millersburg, OH

Why you should go…

Holmes County has the highest concentration of Amish residents in the world, and its chamber promotes it as a place to slow down for a few days in the country. Visitors browse handcrafted furniture, quilts, and cheese from local artisans across small towns like Berlin, Millersburg, Charm, and Walnut Creek, with buggy rides and farm stops filling out the trip.

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.
