Peter Santenello's videos are amazing.
He goes into places you'd never want to and makes incredible videos.
Plus he makes a lot of videos about the destruction of the lock downs.
He has a good videos of what he dislikes about America after 6 years abroad. He is spot on.

There is a very laege Amish population in Belize. I was shocked when we drove by and were told about it when we visited the country.

There is a large Amish population in the Ethridge, TN area. We did a buggy tour a few years ago. Certain farms allow that and sell their goods.
I have always been really fascinated by them and even wrote some papers on the different communities when I was in college.

There are Amish and Mennonite communities within about 15 miles of us in central MO. The Mennonite women are modern-ish; they’re allowed to drive and actually chauffeur their Amish neighbors to town. There are a number of Mennonite women that volunteer at local hospitals.

A single Amish community is found in Pontotoc County, Mississippi, near the town of Randolph. The Randolph group is the only existing Amish settlement in Mississippi. The Randolph Amish settlement, in Pontotoc County in northeastern Mississippi, was founded mainly by settlers from the Ethridge, Tennessee Amish community.
The Randolph settlement is a very conservative Swartzentruber Amish affiliation. Swartzentruber Amish are noted for their restricted use of technology, lack of SMV triangle emblems on buggies, and particularly plain lifestyle. As is common for Swartzentruber Amish, those in the Randolph community permit only metal rims on buggies, and do not allow propane or gas lights.

Spent a few nights at a bed and breakfast in Terre Hill, PA while on a trip to Mt Joy, PA for work. At night you could hear the carriages passing by the B&B. When coming in from work I stopped at the small gas station and several older Amish guys were hanging out in the parking lot on their bikes shooting the breeze. Felt like I had stepped back in time. The whole area was surrounded by farms, produce stands and dairy/cheese buildings. It was awesome.
Unfortunately as you got out a way from Terre Hill you could see where a Hampton Inn and some type of "Amish" strip mall were going up on some of the farmland for the tourists. Per a few people I spoke with, the younger Amish generation were selling their farmland to investors and joining the real world. Other families were moving to Ohio and Kentucky to escape the bus loads of tourists. Sad to see what that area will look like in 20 years.

That must be Washington.
There are several Amish in Columbia. It is where they go when they want to bolt their community and live in the real word. There is a guy who helps them find jobs, get GEDs, etc.
The Amish community in Seymour is unique as far as I know. They are Swiss, not German, and have blonde hair. In my view they are much more attractive than the other Amish. Also, they ride in open carriages not buggies.

There was an Amish restaurant in Americus GA that made an incredible meal and almost like cafeteria style serving but damn the roast, vegetables, gravy, roll, mash potatoes were Damn good. Would love to go to it or another like it again.
There's one outside of Montezuma, Georgia called Yoder's. The food there is pretty good too.
Nice video, thanks for posting it.

A friend bought a quilt made by an Amish woman. Although nearly perfect, they explained that they always purposely include an imperfection in the stitching as it is wrong to try to be perfect, only God is perfect.

Where’s the closest Amish community to Baton Rouge?
