Review & FAQ:
Established in 1855 by a group of German Pietists, the Amana Colonies are a collection of seven historic villages that have been declared a National Historic Landmark. The Colonies adopted a communal lifestyle that allowed them to remain almost completely self-sufficient for almost 80 years after they were established, and today, they're a popular tourist attraction known for their fantastic restaurants and their artisan shops. Visitors are welcome to explore the streets of the villages on their own, but if you'd like more information about the colonies' fascinating history, guided tours are offered between May and October.
