Alan Mays' photos with the keyword: Old Order Amish

"We will be closed on Acsension [Ascension] Day, May 30, & Penicost [Pentecost] Monday, June 10." A sign sighted at an Old Order Amish business near Maytown, in western Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, May 27, 2019. A smaller handwritten sign that I saw at another Amish business on the same day simply said that they'd be closed for a religious holiday on May 30. Amish businesses in Lancaster County close on Ascension Day and Pentecost Monday , and the Amish spend the day visiting family and friends.

"Glick's Hikory & Apple Wood Smoked Meats. Home Made Cheese. Home Made Butter & Brooms. Bologna Sticks." A wonderfully unpretentious hand-painted sign for Glick's Meat and Cheese stand at Root's Country Market and Auction, located near Manheim , Pennsylvania.

This real photo postcard shows Amish and non-Amish men on a farm (notice the silos on the left). Although there's no identifying information on the card, it's likely that this photo was taken sometime in the 1940s or 1950s at an auction or sale in Big Valley (also known as Kishacoquillas Valley ), which is located in Mifflin County , Pennsylvania.

Amos the giant Amish statue currently greets Amish Country visitors at the Hershey Farm Restaurant & Inn, in Strasburg, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, but he used to stand guard at Zinn's Diner in Adamstown. Zinn's used to serve--IMHO--the best shoofly pie in Lancaster County before it sadly closed in 2003. Luckily, Amos was donated to the Heritage Center museum (which in 2012 also unfortunately closed) in the city of Lancaster. The Heritage Center arranged for Amos's restoration and loaned it to Hershey Farm, where it will hopefully continue to reside for many years to come.
