Where i used to live (center of the thumb of Michigan) was one of the largest Amish and Mennonite communities in the state.
I had the fortune one time of witnesses an actual barn raising. IT WAS unbelievable! I wanted to take some pictures, but I respected the Amish belief of not taking photographs of them.
howdy today @goldendawne! yes Ma'am that would have been unreal to see in person. Yes I have alot of photos of them up closer showing their faces but out of respect for them not wanting to be photographed I didn't show any of those.
