The Amana Heritage Society...

... collects, preserves, and interprets the cultural heritage of the Amana Colonies National Historic Landmark. Their museums offer a rich historical experience of the German communal settlement in the Iowa River Valley.

There are various museum sites. The main museum and the High Amana General Store are open daily now. By May the Homestead Church and the Communal Kitchen Homestead will also be open.

Here are some up-coming events that will help you experience the Amana Story when you visit the colonies.
