"Amana Heritage Museum in Main Amana" Top 5 Page for this destination Iowa Things to Do Tip by deecat

Jill and I thoroughly enjoyed the Amana Heritage Museum in Main Amana. I think it is a good idea to go here, see the short media presentation first and then peruse the rest of the museum and the book store. It explains a good deal about the history and the religion of the Amana Colonies.

This museum is located in an ancient Colony home; the cost is $8.00 at the door or $7.00 if you purchase it at the Welcome Center as we did. The good thing is that the ticket is also good at the other Heritage museums [Church, Communal Kitchen, Cooper Shop, Communal Agricultural, and the Homestead Store].

Both Jill and I are retired high school English teachers, and we really enjoyed the Colony school classroom. [see photo # 2].

They also offered books and other items in the bookstore that pertained to the religion and communal living of the Amana Colonies.
