BARN MUSEUM - Key Persons

Henry Moore has created a typical Amana village combining Amana, Middle, East, West, High, South and Homestead into one complex with granaries, homes, barns, wash houses and other typical outbuildings. His Amana miniature buildings are on the first floor of the Barn Museum. Preserving the flavor of rural Americana was an important goal for Mr. Moore. "The small towns, the farms as they were and other scenes are going to be a thing of the past before too long." he explained. "I just got caught up with it and decided this was one way to preserve some of the flavor of rural America."
