Amish man walking to his buggyThe numerous Amish and plain communities here give this area a whole different ambience. These people as a whole are not as materialistic as modern society today. Instead, they adhere to more traditional ways and family values. Their influence is felt throughout our local society.

As you see these plain people working in their fields or clip-clopping down a country road in their horse and buggy, don't just rush by. Instead, take time to reflect on the values that make them so "different". There is a lot to be said for their slower-paced lifestyle.
