Melanie
Dobson presents:
An
Escape to the Amanas
Summer
Giveaway
Tucked
into Iowa’s rolling hills
is a cluster of seven quaint villages called the Amana Colonies.
Grapevines adorn the old brick and stone homes in the Amanas and aromas
from the bountiful gardens and bakeries waft through the streets.
The
Amana people share a
profound spiritual heritage, and until 1932, they also shared their
property and resources as a commune. For eighty years, the Amana
Society provided food, housing, medical care, and schooling for each
member and their children. Even though they no longer live as a
commune, the Amana people continue to care for each other and their
many guests.
This
summer, step back in time
to a place filled with beauty and heritage. A quiet retreat from the
frenzy of modern life.
This
summer escape to the
peaceful Amana Colonies.
