A drive-worthy destination. European connections. A step into the past. Perfect for the entire family. That’s Holmes County, aka Ohio’s Amish Country. Travel in Ohio’s Amish Country to experience a home to the Amish for almost 200 years. This region is only an hour or two from most locations in the state. The Amish settled here because they liked its similarities to the rolling hills of Pennsylvania and before that, their Swiss homeland.

Along with offering a glimpse into a different culture—including a foreign language, the Pennsylvania Dutch spoken by most Amish—travel to Holmes County is a remarkable value. Food, lodging, activities, and shopping prices are very reasonable, and if you plan ahead you can reserve a night or two at one of the many nationally ranked bed and breakfasts for a quite agreeable price.

The region’s scenic beauty and its peace and quiet, often broken only by the clip-clop of horse and buggy, are [...]
