Wikipedia describes the Amish community as follows
The Amish are a group of traditionalist Christian church fellowships with Swiss Anabaptist origins. They are closely related to, but distinct from, Mennonite churches. The Amish are known for simple living, plain dress, and reluctance to adopt many conveniences of modern technology. The history of the Amish church began with a schism in Switzerland within a group of Swiss and Alsatian Anabaptists in 1693 led by Jakob Ammann. Those who followed Ammann became known as Amish.
The Amish are still a very much thriving community within American society. Things are still done simply and without the majority of technology. Their way of life allows them to for the most part avoid modern day issues and problems. Even they however have found themselves dragging into SHTF events such as the Lancaster school shooting that occurred in 2006.
