Two weeks ago, a friend of mine went on a trip to Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. She took lots of pictures, especially at the farmer’s market there. I could definitely pick out the Amish people in her photos, but I’m not sure if some of the others are Mennonites, Hutterites, or even New Order Amish. Do any of you live in this area and could identify the religion by the clothing these people are wearing? Please note that it’s totally fine to take photos of Amish children and teenagers who haven’t been baptized yet. It is also okay to take photos of Mennonites, so I am assuming the women in the patterned dresses are Mennonites.
Pretzels. Notice the small pattern in her dress.
Bonnets for sale.
Notice the kapp and the patterned dress.
Cute little girls playing on the beach.

Yes Mennonite ladies are in the pattern dresses. My deceased Mennonite Great-grandma wore the same prayer kapp as those pictured.
