I am certain that the buggies you show are all Old Order Mennonite buggies, not Old Order Amish buggies. Nevertheless, this was an enjoyable clip to show how their the buggies have evolved. Not long ago, most buggies of Old Order Mennonites in Ontario were open buggies. Also, some of these buggies are much larger than they used to be. Finally, these buggies have large rubber tires. This is a change from the past. I think this group of Old Order Mennonites is the ‘regular’ Old Order Mennonites, not the Dave Martin Old Order Mennonites, whose buggies, in the past, had steel-rimmed tires. But, perhaps, the buggies of the Dave Martin Old Order Mennonites have evolved. Please correct me. Sincerely, Larry Lewis Ontario.
The buggies pictured here are not Amish but David Martin Mennonite. Some of the business owners in this community use cell phones and laptop computers with internet.
