 Amish Horse and Buggies
Parked, Holmes County by deecat
My advice is to visit the Holmes County Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau on 35 N. Monroe St. in Millersburg, OH (330)674-3975) to gather detailed information about the area.
A real "must" is to see the Mennonite Information Center at 5798 County Rd. 77, Berlin, Ohio (330/893-3192) and see the "Behalt", a 265-foot cyclorama illustrating the history of the Amish and Mennonites.
You can visit the Berlin Antique Mall & Berlin Craft Mall, the Guggisberg Cheese Factory Store to get wonderful Baby Swiss; shop at the numerous Quilt Shops; check out an Amish Furniture Store; experience a real Amish house and farm at Yoder's.
By all means, you need to go into the famous Lehman's Hardware and Appliances, Inc. in Kidron, Ohio...what a treat. Also, if you love architecture, be sure to see the Victorian House Museum in Millersburg, Ohio..

I personally think that people in Ohio (despite the fact its like its like 49th in people who go to post-secoundary education) have a major superiority complex thats profilerates more than a stinky Cleveland animal slaughterhouse.
The arrogant and condescending nature of the people effects everything, for example, you go to resturant and complain about the service and they will get mad in a snobbish arrogant kind of way
All and all, Ohio should only be passed by plane because the state is basically nothing but a haven for close-minded conservative snobs

Compared to Colorado, people in Ohio are like a bunch of annoying, rude people who just love to stereotype every thing.
I mean the people are so rude and arrogant.
Chicago greyhound people in my experiences are much nicer than people in Ohio
Here are some things about Ohio that would annoy any tourist, let alone somebody whos trapped on a 6 month lease:
-People are slow and unproductive in resturants: be prepared to wait 20 minutes for a big mac or whopper
-Prices are very high: The arrogant attitude transfers onto the dinner tap in Ohio
-The cities in this state feel rural, except Cleveland which is a filthy slum
-Drivers are the slowest in the country, I mean literally half the speed of the rest of the country Leave a Comment

Amish people do not want their photographs taken. They believe photographs are graven images and thus forbidden by their interpretation of the bible. Out of respect for their privacy and beliefs, I do not have any pictures of Amish on this page or my traveloge photos. Leave a Comment
