Answer
Hi, Ed,

There are about 25,000 Amish (Pennsylvania Dutch) living in Lancaster County. They are a very religious group, and they hold fast to their traditions. They live a simple life and shun many modern conveniences and worldly ways. They tend to keep to themselves and are somewhat quiet towards others when in public.

To read more about the Pennsylvania Dutch people in Lancaster County, go to http://www.800padutch.com/ or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amish.
