Ohio passed up Pennsylvania as the state with the most Amish sometime back in the 1990s.

Lots of them in Michigan as well. I even ran into an Amish family fishing in Lake Superior from the breakwater at Grand Marais MI.

I was going to say...come to OHIO! Still lots of rural land here, aside from Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati!

Yes. I remember as far back as the early ‘80’s that people were commenting on the ‘flight’ of the Amish from Lancaster Country (PA). That might not be the right word for it, but property values, and the relative lack of good farmland had younger Amish, looking to establish themselves, moving westward.

There was even an attempt to establish an Amish ‘colony’ in Belize, IIRC.
