This place was the best
part of my vacation

(A young workshop guest)

On your next family vacation, make plans to visit the actual Make-a-Friend Workshops in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Right in the center of Amish country! Step inside our fun workshop and your cultural adventure begins. Choose between building a wooden barn, train, airplane, tractor and wagon or an Amish friend.

Make-A-Friend

To begin making a friend be sure to get your workshop pass and then make your way around to the six different Creation Stations throughout the workshop. Not only will you create a friend from Amish country with authentic handmade clothing, but you will also learn about your friend's culture at two special activity stations. Learn about life inside a one room school house while you practice German calligraphy and try your skill at knotting a quilt at our quilt frame. Finish up by signing and sealing your friendship certificate and ringing the hanging cast iron school bell to celebrate that a friend has been made. Only $20.00!!

*Please note, the German calligraphy station and quilt station are not available at Make-A-Friend Workshop Express at Kitchen Kettle.
