CLOTHING
Amish are easily identified by their appearance.
The men grow a beard once they marry 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.

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.

                    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 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.

                    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

Visitors Guide 2022

Dine on foods that are indicative to Western PA. Try
the unconventional French fries on a salad, Italian
wedding soup, lamb on the rod and grape leaves
from the Middle East.

WESTERN PA SALAD
A heaping helping of crispy French fries sit atop
your favorite bed of lettuce adorned with chicken
or steak. Tomatoes, cheese and dressing makes
this a staple in Western PA. A fun, fresh and creative
twist on a traditional salad.

WEDDING SOUP
A hearty soup made with greens, meatballs,
chicken, pastina and vegetables in a delicious
chicken broth. A warm bowl of Italian comfort.

NEW CASTLE CHILI DOGS
A product of Greek immigrants who came to
New Castle in the early 1900’s, New Castle chili is
different from any other chili – it’s a thin sauce with
minced meat. Make sure to order a hot dog with
                                                                                        Western PA Salad at Crane Room Grill
“everything” meaning chili, onions and mustard.

          Adventure is engaging in an exciting activity or new experience, exploring
Mines &      the unknown or renewing that spirit of adventure within yourself.
Meadows

VisitLawrenceCounty.com

That spirit might include taking a walk on the wild side at
Living Treasures Wild Animal Park, or meeting the local
spirits at Haunted Hill View Manor. Getting a little dirty
in the only underground riding in old limestone mines
at Mines & Meadows ATV Park or the thrill of guided
whitewater rafting and kayak tours via Connoquenessing
Outdoors on one of our many blueways.
Maybe that sense of adventure is getting back into nature
with the local greenways at McConnells Mill State Park,
guided hiking tours with Penny Allenwood Outdoors or
with the plenty of local and national trails. Feeling a little
zen? Find yourself at the two local labyrinths.
There’s plenty more to enjoy in Lawrence County!

Designated a National Recreation Trail in 2003,
The Stavich Bike Trail is the only bicycle trail in
the United States that will take you through three
different townships, two different counties and
two different states.
Twelve miles long and eight feet wide, the
Trail runs parallel to the scenic Mahoning River
and the rails of the former Youngstown-New
Castle street car line. Over rolling hills, through
farmlands and wooded countryside, the Trail
unfolds east and west to provide safe, barrier-
free recreation all year long. In the spring,
summer and fall, the Trail is open for bicycle
riding, hiking, walking and jogging; in the winter,
the Trail is used for cross-country skiing. Hours of
use are from sunrise to sunset.
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. This wouldn’t
be possible without
our local Wampum
Chapter of the NCT.

                                        NEW CASTLE

 Riverwalk Park

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.
When we say “Home is Here” we are not just referring to a location, but a strong sense of community that
is being built in New Castle, PA as a place where anyone can lay down their roots and grow.
