History & Cultures


Comments & References

The Amish possess traditions and a lifestyle that are intriguing to those outside the community. You will want to note that the Ordnung, or code of conduct that regulates the private, public and ceremonial life of the Amish, may vary between various Amish communities. Since there are Amish communities located throughout twenty-two states in the United States and Canada, wedding practices may vary slightly according to location and community.

The information provided has been taken from a variety of sources and is listed below for your reference. I encourage you to take a moment to visit the Web sites provided.  There is a considerable volume of information available for us to better understand the Amish way of life.

My thanks to those individuals who took such great care in sharing a glimpse into the history and culture of the Amish.
