Amish Country

Just one hour south of Cleveland, Amish Country is also within easy reach of Akron and Canton. The world's largest Amish community lives in Wayne and Holmes counties. The Amish travel by buggy, shun electricity and raise their own food. Take tours, buy Amish-made furniture, attend auctions, dine in Amish-style restaurants and explore antique shops. Roam lovely country roads that lead you through delightful towns such as Kidron, Mt. Hope, Berlin and Charm.

Buggies travel at 4-5 miles an hour, so when you are traveling at 40 or 50 miles an hour, you can come up to a buggy almost before you know it. Slow down, be careful at the top of hills (they say you can tell a Holmes County driver because he slows down at the top of the hill), and take care not to frighten the horses.
