Amana Arts Guild will host a Christmas Haus Tour in the Amana Colonies. It is an event filled with lovely traditions and whimsical surprises. During this festive season the Amana Arts Guild welcomes visitors to its 11th annual Christmas Tour of homes. Progress has not eradicated the town’s treasured traditions and quaint customs. Amana’s cedar sided, sandstone and time bleached brick buildings have weathered for well over a century. Tour private homes decorated for the holidays and take part in the ambience of Christmas in the Amana Colonies. Visit with homeowners and get to know the colonies in a whole new way while you visit homes with stories as remarkable and varied as the colonies themselves. The homes on the tour this year are:
Gaycia and Allyn Neubauer Haus 603--46th Ave. Amana
Lanny and Andrea Haldy Haus 2612--220th Trail, Middle Amana
Rose’s Place B &B/Monys Hagen Haus 1007--26th Avenue, Middle Amana
Robert Brost and Jill Ward Haus 705 E Street, West Amana
Amana Arts Guild Kristmasmarkt 1210 G Street, High Amana
While in the area visit the Tannebaum Forest open November 25th to December 18th, this enchanted forest at the Festhalle Barn is created by local businesses, artists and volunteers. Live Christmas trees inspire holiday wishes while you visit with Santa and see the 17 foot tall handcrafted Weihnacht’s Pyramid. Also enjoy Prelude to Christmas December 2-4, the Colonies advent celebration. Shop on candlelit streets in the village of Amana and visit the Amana Church Bazaar and Cookie Walk.
