Big Amos, Barefoot Amish Giant
We have been by here many times and eaten at Hershey Farms. Amos is very popular with all the people visiting the Sight and Sound Theatre next door. He is easy to access from the parking lot.

At an estate sale I found a color slide of barefoot Big Amos as he looked at Zinn's Diner in the mid-1970s.

Amos is standing tall in front of the Hershey Inn and Restaurant. He looks like he is very happy there and his toenails are painted white. The restaurant has a Grand Smorgasbord, aka buffet. Food is good, could be hotter.
They have a very nice trail walk that was lined in fall mums. They were selling huge pumpkins and flowers.

Cool area, awesome statue -- if you're into this kind of stuff absolutely stop here. It's in the Hershey's center there, and it even has a restaurant.

The Amish giant first appeared outside Zinn's in 1969. He's remained remarkably consistent over the years, just like flesh-and-blood Amish.
