Lehman's
A visit to Lehman's is like shopping and going to a museum at the same time. You'll find thousands of products you thought they quit making years ago.
While you are visiting Amish Country, take time to visit Lehman's, founded in 1955 by Jay Lehman to serve the local Amish with non-electric, old-fashioned products. With over 30,000 square feet of space, including a cafe and buggy barn, all housed in a maze of buildings nearly a quarter mile long, Lehman's is a worth a trip to Ohio all on its own.
Lehman's ships merchandise all over the from the retail store in tiny Kidron, a print catalog and web site (www.Lehmans.com). Oil lamps, tin toys, hand tools, weather vanes, wood stoves, copper kettles, wooden wheelbarrows and much more -- if you can't find it anywhere else, check with Lehman's before you give up!
