Amish families grocery shopping!

The old tradition of haystacking still done with the bare hands of the Amish farmers.

School for the young Amish children.

The Kingston, Dalton & Marquette area is home to several communities of Amish families.  The Amish still follow the traditions of their ancestors in their daily living.  Horse-drawn buggies, kerosene lanterns, black dress clothing, bonnets and straw hats can still be seen today.  The Amish are known for their exceptionally well made wood furniture, cabinetry, baked goods, beautiful quilts and much more.  An entirely different way of life co-exists in this beautiful, rural area of southwest Green Lake County.  

Come...take a leisurely drive and see for yourself the uniqueness of Amish living!  Many specialty shops are here for your enjoyment.  Stop and visit...buy and take home a little bit of the Amish culture.  Fresh baked goods...pies, breads and doughnuts...bulk spices, wooden lawn furniture to enhance your home environment, fresh cheeses from the Amish co-op cheese factory and many more interesting stops are just waiting for you!

Amish businesses are open 5 days each week, and are

closed Thursday and Sunday.

 

And please be extra cautious when following or passing the horse-drawn buggies and pedestrians on the highways.

 

When you visit Amish Country be sure to

stop and visit our Business Association members!

 

We offer a wide variety of services that will make your trip

to the Kingston, Dalton and Marquette area one to remember!

The Amish culture and religious tenants prohibit the Amish people from willingly having their pictures taken.

 

If you are a photographer you are welcome to photograph the horses, buggies, buildings and scenery, but please do not photograph the Amish people.  You will cause anxiety by doing so.  Thank You!

 

 

 

Amish Community

Trivia Questions & Answer:
There is another large community located within our townships that you will not find on your road map.  Do you know what it is...

Answer:  The Amish Community.  You won't find it marked on your road map because this is a rural community spread over many local townships in several counties.  Actually, the Amish Community is made up of many smaller communities, or groups of Amish families in a general area that belong to the same "Church".  Each Sunday a different family hosts the weekly Church service in their home.  If you visit Amish Country on a Sunday and see a farm with many buggies parked there anytime during the day...that Amish family is hosting the day-long, weekly Church service.
