    Amish Scenes or Not?

    By Kevin Williams

    These are some paintings on the walls at my mother-in-law's house.  They've been on the walls as long as I can remember, presumably they were there long before I entered the family. Are these paintings "Amish" themed or are they simply a throwback to an earlier horse-and-buggy era for all?

    What do you think?

    The one by the church, I think, is likely not an Amish image because, well, most Amish don't attend church in a building, they worship at home and there's just something non-Amish looking about the occupants of the horse and buggy.

    Now the other painting that, to me, can be an Amish image.  I can't tell who drew the art and I know I asked my mother-in-law a long time ago about the origins of the paintings, but I don't think she really knew much about where they came from.   Forgive me for the photo quality, I was trying to capture a photo without capturing a glare, so I had to do it from an angle.  Anyway, perhaps I'll ask my mother-in-law again. What do you tbink?

    Hi There, I'm Kevin!

    Welcome to Amish365, where I share my knowledge of Amish cooking and culture! I’ve spent almost three decades exploring Amish settlements and kitchens from Maine to Montana and almost everywhere in between.
