This historic settlement is still largely preserved for the sake of
incoming tourists. Once a religious settlement for Germans who bought
and colonized 26,000 acres of land, the area is what remains of six
communities and centuries of self-sufficient living.
This area was once home to one of the longest surviving towns focused
on communal living. Everyone in the settlement had a role and everyone
shared what he/she had in order to survive. Visitors can take tours
of the newly renovated shops and houses to understand the efficiency
and selflessness of such a place.
The colonies offer a wide variety of accommodations and tours for groups
of all sizes. |
