Holmes County and the Amish
When European immigrants
fled post-reformation religious persecution and settled in the verdant valleys of Holmes County, Ohio, they brought with them
a self reliance and independence from the rest of the world that remains today. These Amish and Mennonite settlers farmed
for a living and grew, produced or crafted most of what they needed to survive. When you plan your trip to beautiful Mohican
Country, make sure you stay long enough to visit Ohio’s Amish Country. Nearly every mile of state road in Holmes County
is designated as an Ohio Scenic Byway and a National Scenic Byway Route, so slow down and enjoy the scenery. And while you’re
here, take in the sights, smells, sounds and tastes of another era.
Visit the Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center, Berlin, Ohio to learn much more.
Malabar Farm State Park was once the home of Pulitzer Prize-winning
screenwriter and author Louis Bromfield,
a friend of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, who were married at Malabar. Guests can
tour the grounds, work on the farm and even tie the knot right where Bogey & Bacall did.
Don’t miss the historic Ohio State Reformatory, which was featured in Shawshank Redemption and several other Hollywood
movies. This eerie structure
was preserved to offers tours, overnight ghost hunts and seasonal haunted tours throughout October. | |
