Origins
In 1955, J.E. Lehman opened a one-room hardware store in Kidron, Ohio, a town that was never incorporated and thus (despite having its own post office) does not legally exist. Little more than a crossroads, this small village serves as a marketplace for the largest Amish community in the world. The residents stubbornly refuse to change their ways with the times. Like the town’s name and the 155-foot-long railing in the plaza, Amish and Mennonites reflect a more traditional era, and Lehman’s caters to their needs.
What are they offering?
Classic tools, appliances and home goods, manufactured and designed as it has always been done, to help you recover your roots and a simpler, purer and more authentic life, far from the artifices and complications of modern life.
One of the most authentic and genuine stores that we have come across, and a unique and original wonder with which to reconnect with your roots and recover the purity of a simpler and, sometimes, happier life.
