Modest Clothes
The Amish wear plain and modest clothing, such as suits, wide-brimmed hats, and solid colors. Women wear muted dress colors, but bonnets signify their marital status. Clothing is hand-sewn, and Old Order Amish don’t use buttons.

Their Roots
Most Amish immigrated to Pennsylvania in the early 18th century because it didn’t persecute religion and had various land offers. Roughly 500 Amish migrated to North America from 1717 to 1750, moving to Berks County and relocating to Lancaster County.
