High Amana General Store

This place is incredible, like stepping back 100 years...can't advise you enough to swing by if you're in the area. Amana is a great Lil town to, main Street is amazing...

Cool place! And accessible for someone using a walker.

The gal behind the counter was very pleasant and very informative about everything in the store plus history. Loved it!

I love old stores. The more unique, the better.

Such a fantastic town and store. I love visiting here each time. Walking in has such a great feeling, the smells, sights, and ambience of the store are great. The staff has always been wonderful. They have a good selection of Amana products if you don't have time to go to all of the individual locations. There is also a large Christmas store inside. The Beer bread and beef jerky are some of my favorite things to grab when I'm there. Lots of souvenirs, try visiting during one of the festivals.

The store and store owner and equally as pleasant. This is a must see. Wonderful history and things to purchase.

It was really nice to step back 100 years to see what the Amanas were like before the depression. We had a very nice conversation with the shop keeper.

This is a great store that will take you back in time!

Nice selection of products plus slot of turn of the century general store items on display.

Cool place, reminds me of an old western movie!

Happened upon the Amana Colonies by sheer good luck: what a great example of serendipity!
Lady at this store is lovely; items are both beautiful and reasonably-priced.
Rest of The Colony villages also worth at least driving by, if one does not have the time to stop.
History of these locations is fascinating. Loved our visit.

This is a very cute store. I haven't been in many old fashioned general stores, but this fits my mental image of what one would look like. They have a good selection of traditional German items, along with some typical general store items (like soda and candy). It was fun to browse, and my kiddo and I played a round of checkers!

Fun place to shop and explore history. Look up and down because there are things to see from floor to ceiling. Store clerk was so friendly. Bought some handmade items while here as well as a mix and match 6 pack of millstream soda. Definitely worth a stop while visiting all the Amana towns.

The history of the High Amana General Store is so intriguing. Its interesting to be able to see how the building used to function. The items being sold in the General Store are amazing as well. I recommend making a trek to this store as the building and items are beautiful.

I love to shop in this store. So many things! Awesome items for shoppers to buy. Nice Christmas shop, too!

Can't remember when was the last time, but in this occasion we did the full visit with the visitors office and the video and chatt with the lady in charge, I heard some good descriptions of the overall workings and evolution of the settlement since a century ago, and she mentioned the concept of Europe in Iowa with menonites, Amish, swedish and other, which may be an opportunity to put together a lesson plan.

This is a hidden gem. If you are in the area great place to stop in. The staff were supper friendly. She explained colonies and asked questions. Should have spent more time here. Amazing collection of German goods.

Lots and lots of unique and special items for your souvenir wants and needs. Gifts and practical gadgets galore. A fun shopping experience.

A great step back into the past. I was pleasantly surprised to enter the store and see items from the past. It was fun to wander around the store. I loved seeing the original features that often get remodeled.

Great selection of gifts and unique food items. The flavored coffee in the basement is some of the best around. They will even grind it for you.
