Just a short drive from Philadelphia, Amish Country offers a unique blend of tradition and faith. While visitors are drawn to its homemade food and handcrafted goods, the real stories lie in the community’s response to modern inventions, like Benjamin Franklin's lightning rod. For the Amish, this device symbolizes a clash between human ingenuity and divine will, showcasing their commitment to humility and spiritual obedience.

Franklin Court is a unique historic site in Philadelphia which we visit on our walking tour. This site was once the home of Benjamin Franklin, but it was only rediscovered after many years of being totally lost.
