Procedures for Ordering Signs

To insure uniformity in signage, accuracy of historical information and to take advantage of the waiver of individual permits and fees, all interpretative signs for individual buildings and properties must be ordered through the Amana Heritage Society (AHS). This ensures that all signs will be the same size and color and uniform in format. For additional information, please contact Amana Heritage Society at 319-622-3567 or email amanaheritage@southslope.net or ACLUD at 319-622-3840 or email aclud@netins.net.

Ordering procedures are as follows:

1. Fill out attached application form and send or bring to AHS along with $60 to cover the cost of the sign. Put as much information on the form as possible including common name of the building, date built, and significance of property. If information is unknown, leave those sections blank.
2. Then AHS staff will research the property, verify information provided and add to or correct information as appropriate.
3. Next, AHS staff will ask applicant to approve final version of sign with corrected information.
4. The AHS staff will file a copy of sign with ACLUD.
5. Finally, AHS will order the sign.
6. The applicant will be asked to pick up the sign at the museum when it is completed.
