Heart Balm at the Homestead Village Church Museum

"What is the cost to mend a broken heart?" Join us for a live performance of “Heart Balm,” by playwright Janet Schlapkohl at the historic Homestead Village Church Museum. “Heart Balm,” is the story of a young German immigrant who discovers love, a new occupation, the Iowa court system, and herself. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the show will begin at 7:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at amanaheritage.org or at the door starting at 6:30 p.m. on June 28th. The Homestead Village Church Museum will play host to this performance as an introduction to the future of the museum. The Church Museum will remain an integral part of the Amana Heritage Society’s interpretation of the cultural heritage of the Amana Colonies, telling the story of the Inspirationists. As we work to further develop the site, the Church Museum will also become a venue for educational and entertaining musical and theatrical performances, focusing on the history and heritage of the state of Iowa as a whole. In order to rejuvenate the Homestead Church building, we need the support and participation of our community and visitors. The Amana Heritage Society is excited to host this event to initiate this rejuvenation.
