New York’s
Amish Trail
Amish Information
Welcome to NY’s Amish Trail. Check out the following
Amish information and tips to help you with your visit.
Who are the Amish?
The Amish adhere to a Christian faith and belief system that
values community, unity, family, faith and hard work. The Amish
in our area are Old Order, a very conservative and traditional
community living without electricity, phones, cars and other
modern conveniences.
Most commonly recognized by their plain dress, horse and buggy
transportation, and old fashioned farming practices; they live an
intentional lifestyle that separates them from the modern world
and is centered around their families and Amish community.
They make a living from farming and handcrafting products for
sale.
What do the Amish make and sell?

They produce a variety of goods including quilts, rugs, baked
goods, candy, furniture, toys, baskets, eggs, homegrown fruits &
vegetables, jams, woodworking, leather, lumber, iron works and
more.
Where are the Amish shops?
The Amish sell their products from their homes--the Amish Trail
map will help you locate their businesses. Look for a sign in their
front yard and an OPEN sign to direct you. You will not find
any large Amish stores or commercialized Amish shopping areas
or attractions. Rural, small town, personal and friendly is what
characterizes this area instead. An authentic Amish experience!
What else do I need to know?
• Amish shops are closed on Sundays and certain holidays.
Some shops may also close randomly for various reasons such as a
wedding, funeral, or family obligation.
• Amish do not accept credit cards.
• Slow down and drive with caution around Amish horse &
buggies.

New York’s Amish Geo Trail has been developed to encourage
visiting cachers and residents to explore and get to know areas of
western Cattaraugus County that are new to them as they travel the
highways and byways of the Enchanted Mountains.
12 caches have been hidden along NY’s Amish Trail for you to
discover! You will receive a geo-button for each cache you locate.
You can obtain your geo-button by mailing your NYAGT Leaflet
to the department listed on it or by visiting the website at http://
AmishTrail.com/geotrail. If you locate 10 of the 12 caches, you will
receive a NY Amish Geo Trail Coin.
For complete instructions on participating in the Amish Geo Trail
visit, http://AmishTrail.com/geotrail.
The Amish Trail presents the Barn Quilt Project. Originally
begun as an addition to the Amish Trail, now the Barn Quilt
Project has taken on a life of its own. The residents of this area
have decorated their homes and businesses with various quilt
patterns. Each barn quilt is hand crafted on commercial sign
board using sign paints. Many in the Randolph area are 2’ X 2’
or 4’ X 4’. Very few are actually on barns.
For locations of all barn quilts, see the back of the Amish Trail
Map.
Remember to pull off the street cautiously. Be respectful of
people’s property.
