Kalona Historical Village

A favorite tourist stop in Southeast Iowa is the Kalona Historical Village, where 12 restored historical buildings are filled with interesting and informative displays depicting the years the pioneers settled the Iowa prairies. The Iowa Mennonite Museum that talks about Amish and Mennonite History is located on our grounds for touring. There are also two nationally-known quilt galleries, one strictly for Amish textiles, and the other displaying a themed group of quilts. The Village houses the United States' premier collection of spool cabinets, a unique collection of gems and minerals, antique glass and collectibles. April - October 2021 come see a spectacular exhibit "History in a Cloth Bag" by Michael Zahs local historian, this is a one of a kind display.
