Iowa’s Amana Colonies are not Amish! Come meet the past while enjoying right now.
Iowa’s Amana Colonies lived communally until 1932. Today their innovative past and welcoming hospitality draw visitors by the thousands. John McGivern is reminded of a simpler time at the Meat Shop, the Woolen Mill and Schanz Furniture, and very grateful for present amenities at Whirlpool Corp, the Ox Yoke Inn and Millwright Hotel.

My father was born in the Homestead Hotel in 1926, and my grandparents ran it. Later on, Bill Zuber bought the hotel and had a restaurant there for years.

John and his team really captured the magic of Amana in this episode. I lived in Cedar Rapids for two years with my wife, from 2020-2022. Amana was our refuge during the pandemic. It’s also home to Iowa’s oldest micro brewery, Millstream. The amber is fantastic!

I have family in Mount Vernon, Cedar Rapids and Des Moines. We often take a visit to the colonies.

My family and I were discussing how we didn’t know anything about Iowa. Came across this video. This is fabulous. So interesting. Thank you.

Great job of capturing the specialness of Amana. I've been going to the Colonies for 30 years (I live in Illinois), and I love them. This video shows what a special place they are.

There used to be an old blind man who did the caning years and years ago.

We made a road trip there several years ago. BIG disappointment. Half the places and museums were closed.

You have to go in the right season and on the right days. There's a website and app where you can see when things are open. So... that's kinda on you.
