While in Harrisonburg, VA, my dad took us to Lewis Martin’s Harness Shop near Dayton, VA. Lewis is an Old Order Mennonite man who makes things related to the use of horses for pulling buggies or plows. His shop smells of leather and there are strips and pieces of leather everywhere, along with all kinds of buckles, saddle soap, neck collars, work collars, harnesses, and a really old cash register. Lewis told us that most Old Order Mennonites who live around Dayton use electricity these days, although they still use horses for transportation and field work. I took a few photos of an Old Order Mennonite school and church that are near the Harness Shop.
