For some, dining out is a special treat. For others, it’s simply a way of life. No matter your relationship with restaurants, have you ever stopped to think about the history behind one?

If not, take a listen to this fascinating interview between Ronneburg Restaurant and Iowa's News Now Hometown Eats, where they dive into the story, traditions, and legacy behind the restaurant. You may never look at your favorite dining spot the same way again!

We might be a tad biased, but the Amana Colonies are home to some truly amazing lodging options! 🏡✨

From cozy bed & breakfasts and charming inns to a boutique hotel, there's a perfect place for every visit. And the best part? You don't have to pick a favorite, just keep coming back and try them all! Rotate your stay each trip and discover a new experience every time. 🥰

Which Amana lodging spot is your favorite... or is it time to book one you haven't tried yet? 😉

This is your reminder that the Amana Colonies are more than just a day trip.

One of the places that really shows off the character of Amana is Hotel Millwright — a former textile mill turned into a beautiful boutique hotel, with exposed brick, industrial details, cozy lounge spaces, and rooms that still feel connected to the history of the Amana Colonies.

Hotel Millwright is also one of the generous sponsors helping make our Amana Colonies giveaway possible, which includes an overnight stay as part of the prize package.

If you’ve been thinking about planning a getaway to the Amana Colonies, this is a pretty good place to start.

I’ll put the link in the comments where you can check out the giveaway and learn more about the Amana Colonies Experience.

In the Amana Colonies, our heritage is a huge part of who we are. From historic buildings and museums to stories passed down through generations, there’s history around every corner, but you definitely don’t have to be a history buff to enjoy exploring it!

Spend the day discovering our heritage sites, then make it a full getaway with shopping at one-of-a-kind stores, lunch at a unique local restaurant, sweet treats, handcrafted goods, and so much more. There’s something here for everyone in the Amana Colonies!
