Inside the museum is a full scale model of the Bibical Tabernacle with a narrative that transports you back in time.

Wonderful information on the local Mennonite and Amish. Even though we have been to the area many times we still learned about aspects of their culture we were unaware of. We also visited the Biblical Tabernacle Reproduction while there. Excellent reproduction and worth the cost to see the Bible come to life.

The Mennonite Information Center is a great place to learn about the Mennonite and Amish community. In past years I have taken classes to learn the Amish language, which is a fusion language and a fraktur class. We also went on one of their local bus tours. We always enjoy their Christmas sale where local artists sell their handcrafted German art.

The info center is a mix of excellent parts. The staff either knows or can find any info you need to have a great visit. The gift shop is like a gallery of beautiful craftsmanship and art from around the world. Don't miss the spectacular views in the movie on the lower level. Despite having visited Lancaster county my whole life, here is where I learned the differences between Amish and Mennonite. Yes, there's an elevator.

This is no ta Disneyland or even Amish Farm and House, both of which do have a place for tourists; however, this is a more scholarly venue particularly valuable for those whose ancestors first settled in the Lancaster County area, those millions of descendants who are interested in understanding the whys and wherefores of their original Anabaptist emigrants. The gift shop is for customers who appreciate genealogical sources and artisan creations. Tacky, touristy souvenirs are not found here.

Our church group of 53 visited the Tabernacle replica and was very impressed not only with the replica but the guide who told in great detail what each thing represented in the tabernacle. Very informative and a great place to take your church group or family!

We had a fun and authentic experience with our guide Melba who directed us on a private countryside tour that cost $60 for two hours. We made tour reservations by phone, got to the Center early, watched a free and short film about the Amish and Mennonites and chose what we would be interested in for a tour in the farmland (see posted photo for the options). Melba, a writer and historian who grew up in the area, first as Amish and then as Mennonite, guided us through the backroads from the back seat of our car. As a local, she knew all in the community, let us climb in the buggy of a local farmer and showed us where she grew up. It was the highlight of our visit to Lancaster County!

We stopped in the information center and learned about a tour. A Mennonite woman( former teacher), Sue became our guide in our car. We spent 3 hours with her and learned so much about the Amish and Mennonites. Since it was just us we could request what we wanted to see based on our interests. I wanted to buy apple butter and she told us to “hold off” for a specific farm stop. We were able to ask so many questions. It was an educational but also delightful time with Sue. Highly recommend!!

The Amish Country is a wonderful place to tour and show teenagers (ages 10 ,12, 14, 15, 16) how people live w/o being tied to cellphones, video games, power lawn mowers, electricity, etc., etc. The key we learned is the Amish want to be self sufficient in all situations. We knew that driving around would show the kids beautiful countrysides, buggies, Amish scooters, etc., but the kids had many questions when we were planning the trip. Therefore we arranged a 2 - 3 hour tour through the Mennonite Information Center. We made the reservation in advance.
Our guide, Dave grew up in the area and could answer any question he was asked. He was very good with the kids' questions and enjoyable.
My suggestions:
1. Make a reservation in advance and let them know children are in your group and you would like a guide who is good with kids.
2. Have an idea about what you would like to see or not see (in our case we didn't want to spend time in shops).
3. Prime the kids to ask any questions on their minds.....tell them not to be bashful.
Have fun!

As Peter said, the center itself is not much. A small museum, some short films, and a gift shop. And they’ll answer some general questions. But this is where you hire a guide to take you into the Amish country. And that is totally worth it. They ride in your car and take you to places and tell you all about the history of Lancaster and surrounding areas.
I would advise calling ahead to book the tour, so they will have someone ready for you.

Ask for a guide through the Mennonite Information Center. They are proficient in explaining the lifestyle and beliefs of the Mennonites/Pennsylvania Dutch. Most important, they can guide you to the places of interest and avoid the tacky tourist traps that have popped up in the area.
Lancaster itself can be a bit of a disappointment, but has some nice places for dinner and lodging.

Do they do any ancestry services?

No, the Mennonite Information Center does not offer ancestry services. The building beside them houses the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society, and they have resources for doing ancestry research.

The guide will advise you when you can take photos and when you can't. The Amish don't approve of photos of themselves, but if you are far enough away it might be all right.
