    Step into a time machine and join me in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, to explore how one of the most mysterious communities of the USA, the Amish, lives. They don’t have Internet, cars or electricity but that doesn’t make them any less happy. Can farming and looking after livestock actually help to discover serenity? Can buggies be modern? You can unravel these and many other secrets in my new video!

      My Ancestors, were early Anabaptist, a Minister of the faith. Both he and his wife were martyred in Switzerland. I also have ancestors who are both. Amish and Mennonite. Thank you for sharing this!

      Steam Tractors/Land Steam Engines are very cool and we still have a local steam engine show once per year where I come from. I did not know Pennsylvania also had a massive following for people who enjoy steam tractors.

      Like everything in the world there are good Amish and bad Amish, especially when it comes to sexual assault crimes and abuse of animals. And like all cults a member will be shunned if he/she leaves the church.
