Just 30 minutes from Iowa City and the University of Iowa we visit the largest Amish community west of the Mississippi River in Kalona, Iowa. We explore this conservative community passed over by time with 1800's living customs and also visit some local tourist bucket list destinations. We explore the Kalona Historical Village which demonstrates Iowa pioneer life in the 1800s. Find out how pioneering spirit, land grants and railroads help shape this area of the country.

The Amana colonies are just up the road on Interstate 80 but they are different from this community. See Iowa wind turbines compared to historical windmills.
