Willkommen!
In the 1850s a group of German immigrants settled in a lush river valley in east-central Iowa. They called their new home "Amana" after a passage in the Song of Solomon meaning "to remain faithful." They established seven villages known as the Amana Colonies and lived communally, embracing a pure and simple way of life...including pride in workmanship, a home in the heartland, and sharing good food with good friends.

Today, the Amana Colonies continue to be one of the leading visitor attractions in the Midwest where work ethic still flourishes and many old world skills prevail. The Amana Meat Shop & Smokehouse, Amana Woolen Mill and Amana Furniture & Clock Shop were part of the original Amana Society and continue to represent the quality that is inherent in the name Amana.
