From his home in Hockessin, Delaware, Baqar, my son reached Kitchen Kettle Village, Intercourse, Pennsylvania, in one hour. All through the journey the landscape remained alluring and absorbing. He took time out from his schedule to take me to the fascinating tourist attraction, a trip to the Amish country. We spent time in the Kitchen Kettle Village in anticipation of our transport.
The history of the Amish church began in Switzerland within a group of Swiss and Alsatian Mennonite Anabaptists in 1693 led by Jackob Ammann. Those who followed Ammann became known as Amish.They are known for simple living, plain dress, Christian Pacifism, and do not adopt many conveniences of modern technology. The Amish value rural life, manual labor, humility, and serenity, all under the auspices of living what they interpret to be God’s word.
For further details about the Amish please search on the internet as my knowledge about them is from the same source.
