The Amish Experience Trolley Tour
Visit the only place in the world that the Amish and Mennonite communities come to vacation en masse and learn about their unique cultures with tour guides Kendra Cross or Lois Stimax.
On this tour, the goal is to create a “bridge of understanding” about these wonderfully unique and close-knit communities. You will learn about the history of their religious beliefs, values, and traditions and how they are practiced in daily life.
During the one-hour-and-forty-five-minute tour, you will visit the Pinecraft community, where more than 500 Amish and Mennonite families live year-round and where more than 5,000 return as tourists each season from Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana to vacation.
In Pinecraft, enjoy the tour stops at Alma Sue’s Quilt Shop, The Carlisle Inn and Der Dutchman Amish Kitchen Cooking Restaurant for shopping and a pie shooter — a sample of their delicious pie!

Please note:
This is a tour where you get off the vehicle, so you must be able to walk a short distance.
During April there may be variations of the Amish Experience tour because typically most of our Amish tourists have returned home. In these cases, we may visit a local Amish furniture maker to learn more about carpentry and its importance to Amish culture.
All guests must be ages 10+.
Tour ticket includes FREE Parking!
