Amish InformationWelcome to NY’s Amish Trail. Check out the following Amish information and tips to help you with your visit.

Who are the Amish?The Amish adhere to a Christian faith and belief system that values community, unity, family, faith and hard work. The Amish in our area are Old Order, a very conservative and traditional community living without electricity, phones, cars and other modern conveniences.

Most commonly recognized by their plain dress, horse and buggy transportation, and old fashioned farming practices; they live an intentional lifestyle that separates them from the modern world and is centered around their families and Amish community. They make a living from farming and handcrafting products for sale.

What do the Amish make and sell?They produce a variety of goods including quilts, rugs, baked goods, candy, furniture, toys, baskets, eggs, homegrown fruits & vegetables, jams, woodworking, leather, lumber, iron works and more.

Where are the Amish shops?The Amish sell their products from their homes--the Amish Trail map will help you locate their businesses. Look for a sign in their front yard and an OpeN sign to direct you. You will not find any large Amish stores or commercialized Amish shopping areas or attractions. Rural, small town, personal and friendly is what characterizes this area instead. An authentic Amish experience!

What else do I need to know?• Amish shops are closed on Sundays and certain holidays. Some shops may also close randomly for various reasons such as a wedding, funeral, or family obligation.• Amish do not accept credit cards.• Slow down and drive with caution around Amish horse & buggies.• Do not take photos of the Amish or their children; it is against their beliefs. photos of buildings and scenery are allowed. • Respect their privacy and personal property.

What else is there in the area?Besides the Amish shops there are many other local shops and businesses. Be sure to check out the Amish Trail map & visitor’s guide for more information on all the great shops, restaurants, accommodations, and attractions that are part of NY’s Amish Trail.

The Amish Trail presents the Barn Quilt project. Originally begun as an addition to the Amish Trail, now the Barn Quilt project has taken on a life of its own. The residents of this area have decorated their homes and businesses with various quilt patterns. each barn quilt is hand crafted on commercial sign board using sign paints. Many in the Randolph area are 2’ X 2’ or 4’ X 4’. Very few are actually on barns.

For locations of all barn quilts, see the back of the Amish Trail Map.

Remember to pull off the street cautiously. Be respectful of people’s property.

Barn Quilt trail information

New York’s Amish Geo Trail has been developed to encourage visiting cachers and residents to explore and get to know areas of western Cattaraugus County that are new to them as they travel the highways and byways of the enchanted Mountains.

12 caches have been hidden along NY’s Amish Trail for you to discover! You will receive a geo-button for each cache you locate.You can obtain your geo-button by mailing your NYAGT Leaflet to the department listed on it or by visiting the website at http://AmishTrail.com/geotrail. If you locate 10 of the 12 caches, you will receive a NY Amish Geo Trail Coin.
