One of the largest Amish communities in the United States is only twenty miles north west of us in the Arcola/Arthur area. The first Amish came to Central Illinois in 1865 and the community has grown to more than 4,000 individuals (according to Illinois Amish Country). Driving in rural areas around Arcola and Arthur, you will see buggies sharing the roads with cars, neatly kept farms, and laundry blowing in the breeze. In town, you can stop by their furniture and cabinetry shops.
In Arcola, visit the Amish Interpretive Center to learn more about this fascinating culture.
