Amish Communities
The Amish date back to 1525 when a radical group of Christians nicknamed "Anabaptists" sought a return to the simplicity of faith and practice as seen in the early Christian church in the Bible. See these communities of people that use no electricity, wear simple clothing, and live life as if in the early 1800s.
