BRAINERD – AMANA
Depart Brainerd with pickups enroute and travel to Amana, Iowa. Declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965, the Amana Colonies attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, all of whom come to see and enjoy a place where the past is cherished and where hospitality is a way of life. The Amana Colonies represent an American dream come true; a thriving German community founded on ingenuity, faith, and community spirit. We stay in Amana at the historic Hotel Millwright for three nights. Tonight we will enjoy a delicious dinner. (D)
