Traveling in the Present and Learning About the Past: Iowa, Amana Colonies:

<p>Our visit to The Amana Colonies prompted us to investigate the historical and cultural background of its settlers to appreciate their culture. Until we gathered knowledge, we possessed a na&iuml;ve comprehension of the dedication of the early residents, but once we understood, our visit gained significance.</p> <p>While visiting Amana, we read, discussed, and participated in tours that explained the beliefs that inspired a communal lifestyle. Our visit began with a tour of the Heritage Museum in downtown Amana. The 22-minute video provided an overview of their evolution and traditions. After the video, many exhibits were available to explore.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/digital-global-traveler/traveling-in-the-present-and-learning-about-the-past-iowa-amana-colonies-4171e550c490"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
