Named for the German (Deutsch) immigrants who settled here in the 18th century, this picturesque farmland is home to the Plain People of the Amish, Mennonite and Brethren faiths. Known for their minimalist lifestyle and old-fashioned ways, the Plain People of Pennsylvania Dutch Country separate themselves from “The English” by wearing simple, modest clothing and shunning such modern conveniences as electricity and motor vehicles, preferring hard work and devotion to God, family and community.
