What's news this week in Crittenden County...

Forty winters have come and gone since a handful of Amish men and their families migrated to rural Crittenden County. They initially settled on an 1,800-acre tract of property that had one small clapboard house, then systematically populated a greater portion of the landscape in the northern section of the county. Today, John Detweiler says that by his count, there are more than 30 Amish homes on that original farm where the Christian group’s settlement began in December 1977.
