Amana Style: Furniture, Arts, Crafts, Architecture & Gardens

The German immigrants who settled the Amana Colonies of Iowa in 1855 brought with them a rich cultural heritage of arts and crafts. That heritage is explored, and celebrated, in this book.

This comprehensive volume explores everything from clock making, furniture, and woodworking to basketry, caning, and carpet weaving.

Full-color photographs by legendary Iowa photographer Joan Liffring-Zug Bourret show the beauty that abounds in Amana, including gorgeous gardens and architecture. Together, the text and photos become their own work of art.
