VisitLawrenceCounty.com 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. 4
Visitors Guide 2022 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. Photo by Michael Fornataro SCHOOLHOUSES 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 livestock and kerosene. Photo by Denise Guthery 5
VisitLawrenceCounty.com 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.

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.

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.

Visitors Guide 2022 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. 31
