Experience a lifestyle......

Where the horse and buggy still provide the transportation,

the home is lighted by kerosene lamps,

and water is heated on a wood burning stove.

Heritage in Harmony

Harmony, Minnesota and Fillmore County as a whole, is an area rich in history, culture and scenic beauty. A very significant part of our heritage is the Amish Community established here. Harmony's Amish community is the largest in Minnesota and is strictly "Old Order" Amish, meaning that the people are very private and have strong Christian convictions that bind their community together, enabling them to resist the ways of modern society. They began their move to this area in 1974 and have grown to about 100 families with three church "districts" and seven one-room schools.

Step back into time....

As we travel through this beautiful rolling countryside, Amish Farmers may be seen working in the fields with horses and horse-drawn equipment, and their buggies may be seen tied to hitching posts in town. You may be fascinated by the Amish way of dress and by the children swinging their lunch baskets as they stroll home from school.

We will enjoy a stop to visit with Anna. Her delicious pies, breads and cookies are likely to tempt you. You will want to plan for a fun day spent with one of our very personable tour guides. There is also the opportunity to look inside an Amish wood-woodworking shop, where one can see a variety of tools used to create the beautiful furniture.

Another stop on this tour is Austin's Angora Goat Farm and Mohair Gift Shop. This is a unique farm that has something for all ages. Ada gives an educational tour that is fun and informative. The last stop on the tour is a visit to the restored Lenora Stone Church near Harmony, which is the oldest church in Fillmore County. Built in 1856, it is a fascinating historic site. The scenic drive is beautiful with rolling hills, woods and natural streams.

Amish Tours of Harmony offers you a choice of touring in your car or in one of our air- conditioned vans. Charter buses are also welcome.
