4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing footage of rare Amish event
Watching an Amish barn raising from beginning to end is quite facinating. This video begins when the first wall is raised and ends as the families are leaving for home at the end of the day. It shows the barn construction from every angle. I enjoyed watching the Amish boys helping out and the young Amish children playing and interacting with each other throughout the day...

3.0 out of 5 stars An amateur production
This video was a disappointment, because someone just set up a camera and let it run. They did not even have a good spot for viewing! A barn raising is a wonderful community enterprise, and deserves careful documentation. I do hope that someone will be inspired by this video to make a much better one, showing all the steps, complete with closeups, and not waste our time...

It shows the barn construction from every angle. I enjoyed watching the Amish boys helping out and the young Amish children playing and interacting with each other throughout the day. There must be 500 men working on this barn at once. Throughly enjoyable. Don't know why other reviewer says camera is set on one spot. Must not have watched the same video. Every side and angle is shown throughout the day. A fun video to watch if you are interested in the Amish way of life.

1.0 out of 5 stars Amish Paradise, January 18, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Amish Barn Raising (1994) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Seeing a community work together to help just one member out is heart-warming. They display the good neighbor attitude in a way that it just isn't done anymore. I recommend this movie to church groups, motivational groups, and anyone who wants to get closer to their friends. Oh yeah, in the one scene you can see an Amish girl's thigh. hubba hubba.
