Amish Fun Facts
(Amish Handcrafted, 2012)
The largest Amish settlements are in LaGrange County, Indiana; Holmes
County, Ohio; and Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
The Amish do not draw social security, join the Army, or allow any form
of assistance from the government.
Some Amish communities, and or districts reject education beyond the
eighth grade, particularly subjects that have little practical use for
farm-life.
Each Amish community may have a dress code that the community must
follow, which may vary from one community to the next.
Generally, the Amish go without electricity, electronic entertainment
(television, radio, video games, etc.), central heating or air conditioning
systems and automobiles.
In most Amish communities, the homes are not far apart from each other
allowing close personal contact with parents, siblings, cousins, aunts,
uncles and grandparents.
Leisure time for an Amish adult might include going to a wedding or an
auction; reading or writing for Amish newspapers or magazines; quilting
or corresponding with friends and family outside of visiting reach by a
mail system they create.
