Amish Country Tips:
- Take it Slow! Watch for buggies, pedestrians and bicyclists on the roads. Some roads are bumpier than others and may be gravel, all of which require slower driving, but add to the cultural experience.
- Stop and enjoy! You’ll pass by LOTS of great roadside stands, Amish Cottage shops and Barn Quilts, perfect for an Amish Country Adventure.
- Plan! Store hours in Amish Country may vary. Amish- owned businesses have limited hours, are closed after 5 and are closed on Sunday for them to be with their family.
- Understand the Grid! Road names and numbers can be confusing. Road names are based on the distance in miles from US 20 and State Road 9 (SR 9)
- The East & West roads are east and west of SR 9. The North & South roads are north and south of US 20.
