Welcome to Amish America

Get an inside look at the harmonious world of the Amish with this PBS documentary that takes you into their communities and dwellings and offers up fascinating re-creations of historic Amish homes. Interviews with community members shed light on their protected culture and religion, while demonstrations of routine chores, such as baking in a wood-burning stove and doing laundry using "horsepower," underscore the simplicity of the Amish lifestyle.
