I live in Massachusetts, but have some good friends in farmerstown I stay with at least two weeks a year.
so I guess I'm a part-time Ohioan.
Kind of interesting story. There was a guy in town here who after the war, in the late 40's, wanted some draft horses.
People told him his best bet was to see the amish in ohio - which he did.
He ended up establishing a good relationship with a few amish families while he was out there, and he'd often go back to visit, or they'd come out this way to visit.
Over the years, he'd bring a friend or two with him and further connections developed.
He's since passed on, but the friendships have been passed on to the younger generation. A younger friend of his brought me out and got me into the circle.
I bring my children out sometimes when I go, and I see them getting very friendly with the kids out there.
It's nice to think this strong connection of friendship will continue down across even more generations.
If nothing else, it's a great experience for my kids - I can prove to them that there is life without electricity, Xboxes, and iphones.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
