Think about it…Iowa City is a collection of curious communities, where a pie shake is a breakfast food, where a noisy library is a great place to learn and where creamed corn comes with a spoon. It’s is the place where culture is not just an attitude but is a way of life. It’s full of progressive, cultured and thoughtful people. Whether it is our many artistic performances, beautiful parks, locally sourced restaurants or Big Ten athletic events, we invite curious minds to see for themselves. Think Iowa City. Read more...
The Amana General Store was built in 1858 and is a prominent historic landmark in the village of Amana. From the time it was built until 1932, the store served the community with all of their material needs that the communal society did not provide. Today, the General Store continues to offer items from far off places and many Amana and Iowa made products. Amana General Store features two specialized areas; the Amana Coffee & Tea Co., which offers an exclusive line of flavored whole bean coffees and a variety of loose-leaf teas, and the International Christmas Market, a year-round holiday wonderland. You never know what treasure you might find! Read more...

Established back in communal days in 1857, the store’s exterior and interior have remained virtually unchanged all these years. The original tin ceiling, wooden floor, and glass-topped display cases still remain. Throughout the store are charming reminders of the good old days, of a simpler time, of the past preserved. They just don’t make stores like this anymore, and there sure aren’t many of them left in existence! The store is truly a “museum” and an authentic general store in one. We have stocked the shelves with an interesting variety of hard-to-find trinkets and unique treasures from days gone by. Read more...
