My wife and I once stayed at a Mennonite family's bed and breakfast around Bird in Hand and as we were about to retire for the night an Amish man rushed into the house and asked the owners if he could use the barn phone. I guessed that the Mennonites had the phone as a convenience for their friends. I gathered later is was a livestock emergency.

Ee love going antiquing & collectableing in the area. that was over a decade ago, I don;t know what the Adamstown area looks like post-ebay. Not good hunting ground for records or tubes, unfortunately.

Don't let their folksy ways fool you, particularly when bidding against them at local auctions.
