Join us on a journey into Amish Country, home to the Amish people with a culture uniquely distinct from others. The Amish primarily reside in Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania, with a smaller settlement located in central Illinois. Their culture is rooted in the Old Order traditions of Christianity and is characterized by a commitment to simplicity, humility, and community. By choosing to live without many forms of modern technology, the Amish maintain a lifestyle that reflects their deeply held values and long‑standing traditions.
During this field trip to their home, we will be able to learn more about their culture, ways, values and beliefs. We will also enjoy a delicious Amish meal. We will have a personal tour guide giving us first-hand information about the Amish people and answering our questions.
Registration for this trip will open on April 20 at 11 a.m. CST. and is expected to fill quickly.
All current students, scholars, and dependents (10 years or older) of students or scholars at the University of Illinois are eligible to register. The cost of the trip is $35 and includes transportation, tour guide and lunch. There is a no cancellation and no refund policy for this trip. Please read all information carefully and confirm your availability before submitting your registration.
