The largest Amish settlement in Illinois, several thousand people farming the flattest ground in the state, with buggy lanes on the county roads and cabinet shops that supply half the Midwest. It is a working community rather than an exhibit, which visitors sometimes need telling.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
