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 nearly 150 families with six church "districts" and ten 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 will be fascinated by the Amish way of dress and by the children swinging their lunch baskets as they stroll home from school.
For over twenty years our guides have been providing top quality tours at reasonable prices. They will tell you about the Amish culture and history as we make our way through the countryside stopping at several Amish farms where they have little shops with baskets, quilts, furniture, baked goods and much more.
