Jefferson New Order Amish Settlement (Jefferson, Ohio, USA)
The Jefferson New Order Amish settlement north of Jefferson, Ashtabula County, Ohio, USA was established in 2011. The settlement started when families moved to the area from Conneautville, Pennsylvania and Missouri.
The families are farmers and carpenters, in addition to a bakery. Jefferson is part of the "electric" New Order Amish.
The Jefferson Christian School has been held in a variety of temporary locations, including a house trailer and a garage.
