Barn Raising
One of the biggest parties of the year for the Amish people is known as a Barn Raising, and it is exactly what you think it is. The community gets together to build a barn together. The construction of the barn is a social event that focuses on helping one another and getting along together. While this doesn’t sound like much fun to most people, it is a roaring good time for the Amish community members.
