Another day trip in Iowa – The Amana Colonies (September 2024)

The Amana Colonies are seven villages on 26,000 acres located in east-central Iowa. They were established by German-speaking settlers who belonged to the Community of True Inspiration (a religious group originating from Himbach, Germany in 1714).

We ate at Brau Haus and of course had schnitzel and bratwurst. It was really good but I must say, our friend’s schnitzel is better – but then she is from Stuttgart, Germany! We are spoiled!

Lunch at Brau Haus, Amana, IA
It was a beautiful Fall day to explore the Amana Colonies!
I had researched and knew G would love the workshop viewing area here.
Ah, if we only had places and the $$$ for the furniture they create there!
We could maybe find a spot for this little Oreo gym!
I love Christmas shops!
