Candle Crafters: The Amish Candle Shop

Before the light bulb had become the most sold and useful innovation of all time, our homes and offices, even our roads, were lit by candles. Lancaster County's unique landscape, culture, and population, provide the opportunity to view and experience the past when candles were the only source of light in the world of darkness we call night.

The Old Candle Barn, located in the famous town of Intercourse, crafts candles in their Candle Factory. This shop's inventory includes a variety of candles, room sprays, furnishings, and accents for any home and they make great gifts for those waiting at home. Additionally, the business is owned and operated by the Hurst family, who started making candles in the 60s and now manage 12,000 square feet. Their products represent the culture and rich heritage of the Amish that makes Pennsylvania and Lancaster County absolutely unique. There is no place on earth quite like it.
