Here in Ohio, our countryside is one of the most beautiful parts of our state.
We’re lucky to have the rolling hills of Ohio Amish Country, plenty of covered bridges and quaint rural landscapes that are perfect for scenic drives. The following are nine farm towns that are perfect for when you need to get away from it all. See how many you’ve been to before:
- Walnut Creek

- Mesopotamia Township
Jack Pearce/Flickr Mesopotamia Township is the fourth largest Amish settlement in the country and the second largest settlement in Ohio. It’s home to Ohio’s oldest general store, End of the Commons General Store, which has been in operation since the 1840s.
- Fleming

- Jefferson

- Millersburg
yodersamishhome.com One of the most beautiful parts of Ohio Amish Country, this rural town is home to The Barn Inn, Yoder’s Amish Home, (which you can tour from April - October), and so much more. Stay at the charming country inn and make a weekend out of it.
