Simply Authentic: An Amish Countryside Trail

Use the self-guided tour map for a do-it-yourself driving tour through this picturesque area. If you need a place to stay, The Jacqueline House of Wilmington is a charming bed-and-breakfast located in the heart of Amish country, offering luxurious amenities—even a spa—in a spacious farmhouse.
