Smicksburg

Tucked away in a secluded section of Southwestern Pennsylvania are the communities of Smicksburg and Dayton. Though small in size, these towns have much to offer. Beautiful, country scenery, away from the hustle and bustle of city life, is just one of the attractions. These two small communities and the surrounding area are home to over 325 Old Order Amish families.

These families still enjoy a life of simple living, shunning modern conveniences. As you drive through the countryside, you will see rolling farmland along with the English and Amish homesteads.You may see an Amish man working his fields with his team of horses or Amish children playing in the yard of a one-room schoolhouse.

Laundry blowing in the breeze and a horse and buggy traveling along the road are also common sights.Along your journey through the peaceful countryside, you’ll discover many quaint shops. Most are English owned but offer for sale the hand-crafted wares of the Amish as well as an extensive array of other fine products.
