Amish in New York: among us, but apart
Amish in New York: among us, but apartSometimes when someone says"they just came back from Amish country" the first states that most people will think of are Pennsylvania or Ohio.When in realilty there are approximately 28 states that now have Amish settlements(source amish america) and that list is growing.This new book about the Amish in New york looks to be an interesting read, and i hope to order a copy very soon.If you have visited or live near one of those settlements in New york, please share your stories with us, and you can e-mail me pictures so i can post them on this site along with a topic.

I've created this website out of my own interest in the Amish/Mennonite culture and of living in the country. Its a place for people who are interested in the Amish like myself, and its also a place to share Images of the beautiful country side that is all around me. my name is Richard, and I live very close to an Amish settlement here in Pennsylvania. This site is dedicated to my mother, who had started all of this by taking me as a child to Lancaster,pa from our apartment in the Bronx projects..........THANK YOU MOM............... Richard
