Where is Amana Colonies?

What does that have to do in the middle of Iowa? That was my first thought when I discovered this sign on the side of the road.

I am curious and decide to follow the branch, because I have never heard of the Amana Colonies before. A short time later I reach the town of Amana, where I first drive to the Visitor Center. There I hope to find out what the Amana Colonies are all about. When I go in, German language catches my eye everywhere. This promises to be interesting. I am always looking for German heritage in the USA.
