) - the USA's three largest Amish clusters. Little boys in straw hats steer
horse-drawn buggies, long-bearded men hand-plow the tidy fields, and demurely
dressed women and girls carry shoofly pies to market. The 'Plain People,' as

telephones or motorized vehicles. Berlin in Ohio, Lancaster in Pennsylvania, and
Middlebury in Indiana, are good places to see the clock turned back.
