Experience the True Lifestyle The second largest old order Amish community in Pennsylvania is in Lawrence County. Learn about their culture with a drive yourself map or a guided tour of homes, businesses, and the Amish Countryside! 3 LAWRENCE COUNTY 2021 VISITORS GUIDE
RESIDENTS The Old Order Amish sect in Lawrence County settled around 1847. Currently, there are approximately 2,300 Amish residents in 19 church districts surrounding the villages of New Wilmington and Volant. The average family has seven children with each, starting at the age of seven, having daily chores to complete. CLOTHING Amish are easily identified by their appearance. The men grow a beard once they marry Photo by Denise Guthery and always wear a hat. The women’s dress, primarily in blue, are dosed with straight pins rather than buttons because the church feels that buttons are too showy. They always wear a covering on their heads. LANGUAGE Amish speak a dialect of German known as Pennsylvania Dutch, the language spoken at home. English is taught to children beginning in first grade. HOMES The Amish live on farms Photo by Jim Fisher without the convenience of electricity. Many Amish homes include additions or small detached dwellings called “dawdy” houses, where grandparents live. GRAVEYARD A small nondescript Amish graveyard is located behind the white gate at the intersection of Auction Road and High Street outside New Wilmington. The small stones remember Amish; the larger stones remember Mennonites. Photo by Michael Fornataro 5 LAWRENCE COUNTY 2021 VISITORS GUIDE
SCHOOLHOUSES Wine & Craft Amish Beer Country Trail Most of the Amish children attend one of 19 different Amish-run parochial schools in the area. When in session, 25 to 30 children from first to eighth grade are enrolled in each. To complete school they much take and pass a difficult eight-grade proficiency test. AUCTION HOUSE The Auction House is located off Route 208 in New Wilmington. Amish and English farmers meet at the market every Monday to socialize and purchase goods such as Photo by Bethany Kenney livestock and kerosene. TRANSPORTATION The Amish mode of transportation is a horse and buggy, although for work or long distance travel they will ride a bus or hire a vehicle to transport them. Brown-capped buggies are unique to Lawrence County. PHOTOGRAPHS While touring the Amish Countryside, please refrain from taking direct photos of Amish faces. This is forbidden by the church because they consider the human spirit more important than the body. Photo by Cindy Welch Photo by Denise Guthery 6

North Country National Scenic Trail The North Country National Scenic Trail (NCT) has twenty- nine miles of off-road hiking and eleven miles of temporary connector road walk in Lawrence County.
Outdoor Adventure The Trail Town of Wampum welcomes hikers, offering a small-town Pennsylvania atmosphere, an opportunity to resupply, and a chance to visit different historical structures and landmarks. This wouldn’t be possible without our local Wampum Chapter of the North Country Trail Association. They are responsible for building, maintaining, and promoting the North Country Trail from Alpha Pass at McConnells Mill State Park to the PA/OH state line. The eastern section of NCT travels through the spectacular Slippery Rock Creek Gorge in McConnells Mill State Park. The western part showcases the agricultural and industrial past and present of western PA, traveling past abandoned coal and limestone mines and family homesteads, the remnants of the infrastructure that once made this area the ‘brick capital of the USA’, and working farms and small factories and businesses. 28

New Castle New Castle is the county seat of Lawrence County and is known for being the Fireworks Capital of America. In the 2011 movie, Super 8, New Castle was referenced as “The Fireworks Capital of the World”. The locals are very proud of their heritage and it shows. In years past, Shenango China was manufactured here and presidential service collections were used in the White House for President Eisenhower and President Johnson. Along with President Reagan having a collection specifically made for Air Force One. Locals traveling across the country will quite often still turn over dinnerware to check if it was made by Shenango China. Bob Hope can be heard on YouTube speaking about his start in New Castle as part of a vaudeville production. The Warner Brothers; Sam, Albert, Jack and Harry, established their first motion picture theater in 1907 showing the silent film “The Great Train Robbery”. This nickelodeon is being revived and is now accepting tours at the Historic Warner Cascade Theatre Museum. Photo by Antwan Gardner 31 LAWRENCE COUNTY 2021 VISITORS GUIDE
