National Iowa Day
We began honoring each state in the order they were born in the union, beginning with Hawaii and ending with Hawaii on Independence Day. We've chosen a small piece of each state's past, foods, and the people who make up the state. There's so much more to discover, but we can't help but celebrate our beautiful country even more.

Other Fascinating Faces and Places are located in other countries.... The Amana Colony is one of the later settlements that remain today. They came to America for religious liberty after a congregation of Community of True Inspiration, their faith, and persecution in Germany led them to immigrate to America.

Designed handmade gifts, baked goods, wine, and staying for a home-cooked meal are all available in this shop.
