Things To Do
Amish Country
Geauga County is home to more than 14,000 Amish, the 4th largest Amish population in the world. Learn a brief history of the Amish here: https://www.destinationgeauga.com/places-to-go/amish-country/ Some key points: The Amish are a unique sect of Christian separatists. They have distinctive clothing, houses, and modes of transportation. However, they live throughout Geauga County and you are likely to see horse and buggies, bikers, and walkers on the road. To spot Amish homes, look for houses with curtains drawn to one side. While it may be exciting to see so many Amish customs, houses, and people during your stay, please recognize that the Amish do not take personal photographs and they do not want others to take photographs of them in their home town.
