Description
This nice Amish man gave my son some directions to someone's home in the area, which is in the Hillsboro, Wisconsin area. The eighty year old Amish man was busy picking over some green beans at the time. The man also made sure my son took some grapes from his vineyard which was close by. My son said, " You couldn't ask for a nicer person, than this Amish man was"!
The history of the Amish church began with a schism in Switzerland within a group of Swiss and Alsatian Anabaptists in 1693 led by Jakob Ammann. Those who followed Ammann became known as Amish. In the second half of the 19th century, the Amish divided into Old Order Amish and Amish Mennonites. The latter mostly assimilated into the main society during the 20th century, whereas the Old Order Amish retained much of their traditional culture. When it is spoken of Amish today, normally only the Old Order Amish are meant.
