We lived in beautiful Washington, Indiana for nearly a year when our girls were younger. It was an Amish community and I loved nothing more than seeing an Amish buggy parked in the Wal-Mart parking lot or driving past a horse pulled Amish family. Their peacefulness always, always touched my heart.

I happened to be Googling for information about Hickory Heaven in Marion, Kentucky (DELICIOUS!!!) this morning when I came across a Marion Kentucky website. I got sidetracked for about an hour after I found the address for this unbelievably wonderful BBQ restaurant. I’ll be posting about them in an upcoming post (which is why I needed their address – normally, we just follow our noses).

The website in question is Marion Kentucky: Kentucky’s Hidden Treasure. Their page on Native Americans is particularly interesting – as is their page dedicated to the Amish Community.

I’d always wondered where the Amish and Mennonite communities differed, and their article cleared that up for me.

You have to visit this website (so festive and fun!) and, while you’re there read and learn about the beautifully peaceful Kentucky Amish community. As the website states, being in their presence is like taking a step back in time.

That can be a beautiful and rewarding thing.

Speaking of rewarding! You have to try this Amish Egg Nog Pie. Delicious!
