Minnesota is home to approximately 3,500 Amish residents living in a growing number of settlements, the most significant of which is in the Harmony and Preston area of Fillmore County in the state's southeastern corner. The Minnesota Amish population has grown notably since the 1990s as families from Indiana and Ohio have sought affordable farmland in the rolling bluff country along the Minnesota–Iowa border.

Fillmore County's Harmony–Preston community is the anchor of Minnesota Amish country and one of the most organized for visitors outside the traditional Amish belt. Harmony, a small town, has leaned into its Amish neighbor identity, offering organized buggy tours and maintaining a visitor infrastructure that helps travelers connect with community businesses. The landscape of southeastern Minnesota — coulees, hardwood forests, and the Root River valley — provides a scenic setting.

Beyond Fillmore County, Todd County near Browerville in central Minnesota has a well-established Amish community, and smaller settlements exist near Grove City in Meeker County. The Lanesboro area, just east of Harmony along the Root River, is a popular tourist town that works synergistically with Amish country visits.

Communities & Character

The Harmony area community is the most visitor-organized Amish settlement in Minnesota. Buggy tours departing from Harmony take visitors through the Amish farmland, and a printed map of Amish businesses is available from local visitor centers, listing furniture makers, baked goods operations, quilt shops, and bulk food stores by road location. The Amish community there is Old Order but accustomed to respectful visitor presence.

The Browerville community in Todd County represents the other major pole of Minnesota Amish life. Less developed for tourism, the Todd County settlement serves primarily local and regional customers — Central Minnesota residents who drive to Browerville for furniture, quilts, and bulk food rather than organized tourism seekers.

What Minnesota is Known For

  • Custom hardwood furniture (oak bedroom and dining sets)
  • Handmade quilts and quilted table runners
  • Bulk dry goods, grains, and natural peanut butter
  • Homemade noodles and egg pasta
  • Canned goods, jams, apple butter, and pickles
  • Fresh eggs, cheese, and baked goods (breads, pies, cookies)
  • Beeswax candles and raw honey
  • Hand-braided rugs and woven textiles

Best Time to Visit

Late spring through early fall — May through October — is the best time to visit Minnesota Amish communities, with July through September offering the most active farm stands. The Harmony and Preston area is particularly pleasant in September and October when fall color in the bluff country is spectacular and harvest-season produce stands are fully stocked. Winter visits are possible for furniture shopping at workshops, but farm stands and produce operations are closed.

Travel Tips

  • Pick up the free Amish country business map available at the Harmony visitor center — it lists active Amish operations by road location and is the single most useful tool for navigating Fillmore County Amish country.
  • Book a buggy tour through Harmony's visitor infrastructure if this is your first visit to Amish country; the guided experience provides context and introductions.
  • Bring cash — Amish businesses throughout Minnesota are cash-only, and while Harmony and Preston both have banks and ATMs, rural areas in Todd County near Browerville have fewer options.
  • Allow a full day for the Harmony–Lanesboro corridor: start with Amish shopping in the morning, have lunch in Lanesboro, and explore the Root River Trail or the bluff country in the afternoon.

Cultural & Etiquette Notes

Minnesota's Amish communities are Old Order, maintaining the traditional practices of horse-drawn transportation, home church services, and rejection of grid electricity. The Harmony community's comfort with organized tourism reflects decades of relatively positive engagement between the Amish settlement and the surrounding non-Amish community. Photography remains sensitive throughout Minnesota Amish communities; always ask before photographing people.
