Since we are off topic.. and you are talking heritage. You caught my curiosity.
One comment about US tourist websites.. they never show an all-states map with a dot on it to help locate where places are in the bigger picture. I could not easily find out where the Amish towns illustrated are located.
I spent five minutes looking up "Amish" on alta vista. I was curious, because I live reasonably close to Billericay, in the UK, where some of the pilgrim fathers set out from centuries ago. Billerica MA is named after it.
I know the Amish are a kind of Puritan religous community (nb TV show "Earth:Final Conflict" featured the Amish community).I thought the Amish might be a strand of this group.
If so, small world isn't it.
If not, hey I'll go for a pee and get back to business.
Lol
