Pennsylvania Dutch country gets its name from the many
groups of farmers of Swiss, Dutch, and German descent who
immigrated during the 1740s.
The Anabaptists of northern Germany had broken from Martin
Luther's teachings and later founded a church led by Menno
Simons based on strict interpretation of the bible and a
doctrine of baptism after the age of 18.
Persecuted in Europe, the Mennonites came to America at
the invitation of William Penn, a Quaker who had been granted
a huge territory by King Charles II of England. Penn dedicated
the land in his 1681,"Holy Experiment" to religious freedom.
The Amish, an Anabaptist splinter group founded by Jacob
Amman in 1693 came to America and eventually split further
into eight levels of strictness in the interpretation of the Bible.
For the most part, these farm folk choose to live without
modern technology but they have outfitted their horse-drawn
buggies with running lights for safety and they also use bottled
gas for light and power to run their milking machines.
Focused on humility, thrift, simplicity, and submission to
a higher authority, these wholesome farm folk are no
strangers to technology, they just prefer to live without
electricity and the automobile.
Visitors can experience the life on an early 1700s
Pennsylvania Dutch farm two miles north of Lancaster where
two brothers of German descent created the Landis Valley
Museum. Costumed guides demonstrate open-hearth
cooking, weaving, and horse-drawn plowing in a preserved
traditional farm where visitors can also purchase heirloom
seeds and handcrafts.
For another look at the religious history of the area, the nearby
town of Ephrata preserves its Cloister, a group of buildings
built by a German charismatic leader who in 1732 gathered
followers for the practice of a celibate and mystical religion.
The vegetarian sect, renown for their musical compositions in
five part vocal harmony and for their Germanic calligraphy
and printing press, grew to 300 in the 1740s but then withered
after 1768, remaining as a 28-acre museum with many of the
original antique buildings preserved.
