Stay safe
Slow, horse-drawn Amish buggies without any lights share the road with modern vehicles.
  • Ashland County, like many Ohio Counties, has an Amish population. The Amish in Ashland County are Swartzentruder Amish, who are often described as the most traditional and insular of all of the Amish sects. They live without electricity, indoor plumbing and without lights on their buggies. Use caution on all rural roads, especially at dusk or dark. Dark black asphalt roads and black, unlit buggies are an accident waiting to happen.
