Ohio Amish Country, OH

The text from Tanya's postcard reads: "A picturesque farm in northeastern Ohio's Amish country.  The Amish, in tradition of their forefathers depend mainly on horse-drawn buggies as their means of transportation."  And in her own handwriting, she adds that the Amish are very traditional people; many do not use electricity or drive cars.

Some of the best cheese in the US is made here.  Discover more facts about this wonderful farmland on this website.

Approximately 40,000 Amish live and work here

The postcard came with these stamps:

The American Clock stamp represents the Banjo clock, first made in 1805 by Simon Willard in MA
