Did you remember to set your clocks forward last night?

You might be surprised to know that almost 4% of Lawrence County’s population chose not to. In fact, in some neighborhoods in northern Lawrence County right now, it’s still an hour earlier than it is in the rest of the county.

Lawrence County’s Old Order Amish people do not observe daylight saving time. The Amish view the practice of setting clocks forward as a modern contrivance that skews the natural order of things.

Some Amish people refer to daylight saving time as ‘English time’ or ‘fast time,’ and to standard time as ‘slow time.’
