Are there no Amish or other communities that eschew modern life where you live?

I remember when festivals and fairs often had an exhibit of someone in an iron lung.

I remember when the fair had the “oddities “

you paid a quarter or fifty cents extra to go see …

The (insert adjective here) live 50 foot anaconda ( it was all curled up so I did not get too see how long it was )

The ( _ ) 50 pound rat ( it was a coypu and in the rodent family but not a rat add years later I saw some at New Orleans zoo )

The (_) two headed calf ( even as a kid I could tell it was fake )

Of course I know what it is, I just don’t recall ever seeing anyone actually ironing with one.
