Trip to Amana Colonies:
The Inspirationists emerged in the early 1700s as part of the Pietist and Spiratualist movement within the Lutheran Church in Germany.  In 1842, 800 German Inspirationists settled near Buffalo, New York, and began to practice full communal life institutionalizing precepts concerning dress and lifestyle.  For economic and spiritual reasons, however, the group bought 18,000 acres in Iowa in Iowa in 1854 and called their new home "Amana," a word taken from the Old Testament Song of Solomon, which means "to remain faithful."
In 1932, the year of the "Great Change," the communal way of life was discontinued.  Strict regulations on dress and lifestyle have also been gradually eliminated.  Church life, however, continues with its spiritualistic pattern and simple form of worship, in unadorned meetinghouses.
