The Amish have always interested me. I have been to an Amish Community in Illinois. They were very friendly. Lot's of roadside stands to buy things.
I have also been to Seymour, MO, that is up in your neck of the woods, I think, Bro. Hoover. They were not very friendly and did not see the stores and roadside stands.
Are there different "orders" of the Amish as with the Mennonites?

When I was growing up my grandparents lived right in the middle of the community. My grandpa and grandma both drove for them. They always invited us to big dinners and we invited them to family dinners also.
AS a matter of fact my dad met up with that same amish family--they moved to Michigan years ago--and they had a special dinner because he was in town.
The Amish are some of the most friendly and down to earth people I have ever met....

We bought an Amish built home from a couple who became Mennonites. We have lived here for five years now, we get along great, they ride pass our place in buggies, sometimes we drive them into town. I could never ask for better neighbors.

There is a few different orders - even among the ultra con horse and buggy types. The group you speak of in in Seymour are Swartzentruber I am quite sure VERY CONSERVATIVE! They actually went to court over NOT allowing the triangle (slow moving viehicle sign) on the back of there buggies.

Same here, the Amish hold a big dinner once a month for the community, it cost $ 3.00, all you can eat, great food and fellowship. The money goes to help other's in need in the community.
We also made great friend with an elderly couple, who've had us over many times for supper or drop off bake goodies. The kids really enjoyed telling Elmer who's in his 80's about Pinocchio , he never heard of the story before.
