Amish Buggy Shop Tours – a Specialty Group Tour Option
in Illinois Amish Country
All of our custom group tour packages generally include time on an Amish farm, usually around the meal time. After every Amish home meal, the hosts offer a tour of the farm. You will get to see an Amish buggy close up. However, if you wish to specialize your experience and learn a little bit more about the Amish culture, add this special experience that your group may enjoy:
Amish Buggy Shop Tours – One of our local Amish buggy makers will take your group on an in depth tour of his buggy shop. His shop makes most of the Amish buggies used in the Arthur area.
He will show you the ins and outs of creating the undercarriage, the buggy chassis and body and discuss and possibly demonstrate the old art of using fire for steel rimmed wheel making. There are always buggies in various stages of production to inspect and occasionally unique antique carriages in the process of being restored to view. This very interesting and educational Amish buggy shop tour will take about an hour and is available for groups of 20 or more.
As this Amish Buggy Shop Tour is on a working Amish shop it is not available to small children.
