Welcome to the new AmishCountry.TV!

Hello! Welcome to the all new AmishCountry.TV Blog! Here we will do our best to keep you informed of the "happenings and goings on's" throughout the World's Largest Amish Community.

Ohio's Amish Country, is a region that is made up of Holmes and Wayne Counties, as well as, parts of Tuscarawas, Coshocton, Stark, Knox, and Ashland Counties. Many unique sights and experiences can be had here when you visit. Here you will see many horse-drawn vehicles sharing the highways and byways... Amish children playing outside of their one-room schoolhouses, (yes, that's correct, children playing outside, what a novel concept)...and many more scenes, from years gone by, that play out before your eyes.



This region of Ohio has long been famous for the world class cheese, that is produced here, which is still the case today, but it isn't all about cheese anymore. Handcrafted hardwood furniture, is also a major industry thoughout the area, and we've seen growth in the number of the region's wineries.

The hospitality of Ohio's Amish Country, is what keeps visitor's coming back. The accomodations in the area, can range from simple comfort, to luxurious. Thinking of comfort, Ohio's Amish Country is definetly a leader in "comfort food" at prices, and portions that will make you smile. Can anyone say..."mmmmmmmmmashed potatoes"? How about "homemade pie"? And much much more...

So stay tuned, we'll do our best to keep you informed of what's happening in the area....you can get an inside look into some of the best places to visit by watching "AmishCountry.TV's Featured Destinations".
