Summary

The Amish are one of the oldest communities in America, predating the formation of the United States. Lancaster County in Pennsylvania is considered Amish Country as this is where they first settled and continue to live. The county seat of Lancaster is one of the oldest inland cities in the United States and it was the capital of the state for thirteen years. There are several locations here that are reputedly haunted. Join us as we share the history and hauntings of haunted Amish Country! The Moment in Oddity features Fat Albert the Blimp and This Month in History features the birth of Stephen Foster. Our location was suggested by Kay Eberhart.
