With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Amana, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Amana Colonies, Amana Colonies Golf Course and Amana Colonies National Historic Landmark. The locals will also likely point you toward Traer, 35 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Ripley United Church of Christ. (But we’re also huge fans of Traer Salt and Pepper Shaker Gallery and Traer Golf and Country Club.)
