EatAmish/Homestyle - Restaurants all over the county.

DrinkWhile there are a few bars in Holmes County as well as carry-outs, Holmes County is not a "party town" due to its very conservative population.

SleepThere are a variety of choices for sleep that range from larger hotels to small bed & breakfasts.

Stay safeOn the country roads, especially in the central and southern regions, be careful driving at high speeds, especially over ridges.

RespectDo not take photographs of Amish people, as this is considered to be idolatry and hence, forbidden under Amish religious beliefs. This is a different culture and ethnic group of people with deep religious principals.
