You can experience the unique lifestyle and learn about Harmony's Amish community by booking a tour through Amish Tours of Harmony. Winter tours are available by appointment by calling 800-752-6474. No Sunday tours.

If you choose to explore on your own you can do a self-guided tour by purchasing a CD and listen as you explore. Please respect the privacy of the Amish community. That includes not questioning them about their way of life or their religion.

You will see signs in front of some Amish homes advertising "Quilts," "Eggs," or "Honey," etc. In some cases they use the honor system where you take the product and leave the cash. If they come out to transact business, it is just that, it is not an invitation into their home.
