Description
Why the Amish Are Quietly Leaving Pennsylvania After 200 Years
For over 200 years, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania has been the heart of Amish life in America. But today, thousands of Amish families are quietly leaving the land their ancestors settled generations ago — and it has nothing to do with faith or tradition.
In this documentary, we uncover the real reason behind the biggest Amish migration in decades: skyrocketing land prices, suburban sprawl, tourism pressure, and a farming crisis most people have never heard about. We trace where these families are moving — from Kentucky and Tennessee to Wisconsin, Montana, and Maine — and why this migration might be the key to how the Amish have survived 200 years of change.
