Amana Colonies: The Handcrafted Escape
Submitted by matt on Mon, 2006-07-10 23:30.

Forget the mall, ditch the catalogs and come experience shopping our way . . .

Discover Another Way to Shop

You won't find chain stores in the Colonies; you won't find the same old cookie-cutter department stores. You will find specialty shops and galleries offering artwork, fine gifts, home accessories, locally made crafts, boutique fashion and accessories, specialty products, quality foods and beverages, hard-to-find antiques and treasures. And you'll be pleasantly surprised by the prices.

These are uncommon goods offered in an uncommon setting. Half the fun of shopping in the Amana Colonies is exploring the seven villages and experiencing for yourself the unique history and charm. So go ahead, learn how Amana furniture is crafted, explore the Amana Woolen Mill now in its 150th year of operation, watch the village blacksmith at his forge, take in our art galleries and studios, shop for fresh-baked bread and hickory smoked meats, sample our wine and beer, shop for the finest, imported figurines and art glass; experience shopping our way.

So forget the mall - wander through our quiet streets, comb through our unique selections - there's a treasure waiting just for you.
