Something Beautiful

When I went on a trip to Pennsylvania with my friends for the weekend, I was amazed by the miniature Amish Farm they had there.  We toured the Pennsylvania Dutch Country and it was as if I was part of the scenery even though everything there was so small. I found all the little buildings and mechanical settings of the Amish Farm amazing. It was weird that I could see so much in such a small space.  Even though it was just pieces of wood and other materials put together, everything seemed so real, from the lights of the building to all the little attractions of the town. The most amazing part was when this bright city would actually turn into nighttime every few minutes to show the life of the city at night. I found the structures in this miniature Amish Farm well designed and it really gave me a sense of how life was. It wasn’t super extravagant but was just simple so that we could get the most important parts of the country life.

I’ve been to this miniature showcase too! It is really amazing how much detail, accuracy and time have been put into this! I’m not sure if you can find people with such dedication and hobby nowadays! When you went, were there these short shows where it became dark and music started playing, etc.?

Hey Emily, yeah I’ve watched the exhibit change from day to night. It is really pretty especially when the little lights in the dark stand out and it feels really soothing. It gives a totally different feel compared to when the lights are on.

I know right? I feel like the exhibit is more magical when only the little lights are displayed and that perhaps I am inside an actual community. Do you remember if they played a patriotic song at the beginning of the presentation?
