Our first stop on the tour was an Amish museum, we got a chance to see how they live. This is a barn, isn't it HUGE?
Because they don't have electricity they don't have a clothes dryer, so they hang their clothes out on a line.
Two Amish wagons.

This is how many Amish children get around.
A look inside an Amish school. All Amish children are required to attend school from the first grade to the eighth grade. Amish children do not attend public schools, but instead go to a one-room school house that is located near their homes. Each morning Amish children walk to school and spend the majority of the day studying. They learn the basics of reading, writing, and mathematics, just like other children their age. However, Amish schools also teach their children the things they'll need to know to succeed in their Amish communities. Amish girls will primarily learn how to be good wives and mothers. They are taught how to cook, bake, sew, quilt, clean, raise children, and drive buggies. Amish boys are taught how to manage finances, prepare the fields, use tools, and drive a horse and buggy team.
How would you like to spend all day in this desk?
Actual school, not just a model
Just like CTE the Amish have special classes for those who are mentally and physically handicapped.
Another Amish school, see the black stand in front of the school? This is their water fountain!
The Amish children are allowed to play volleyball, baseball (I thought you would like that Brandon) and hockey. They're not allowed to play football or basketball.
