Amana Colonies: Barns

Where are these barns located in High Amana?
What does the grouping of the barn buildings indicate about the values of the Amana?

Answers:

• based on the topographic map, these barns are located on the south side of the village (in the river valley)
• these "plain" people believed in equality of  material and spiritual matters; hence, their communal ownership
  of all land resulted in clustering the farm buildings together, as well as the houses
