Jay Lehman founded the store in 1955 to serve the local Amish and others without electricity. His vision was to preserve the past for future generations. "I was concerned that some day the Amish would not be able to maintain their simple ways of life because these products would no longer be available," he said. His goal was, and still is, to provide authentic, historical products to those seeking a simpler life. Today, Lehman's is your source for brand new, but old-fashioned products for your garden, farm and home. If you think it isn't made any more, check with Lehman's before you give up. Our motto: "Simple products for a simpler life"
