In America's heartland, in the lush Iowa River Valley, are the hamlets of the famed Amana Colonies, settled by German immigrants in the 19th Century and filled with quaint villages, historic buildings, fabulous handicrafts and woolens and wonderful food, including homemade bread, sauerbraten, over baked ham and steins of ice cold beer. It is doubtful that any part of the midwest surpasses the Amana Colonies for sheer charm, rustic beauty and appeal. However, a short ride away sits stunning Galena, Illinois, a small-town jewel of 19th Century America with hundreds of restored Victorian homes, 85% of which are on the National Register of Historic Places, antique stores and rich history, Galena is a showcase, in a setting of remarkable natural beauty. This pair of magical places are just two of the highlights on this exclusive Fall Holiday to America's Heartland by train and riverboat.
