Amana fish weir dates back to 1850s findings
Dr. Charles Keyes first described the stone dam as a fish weir in the Iowa River at Amana. Archaeologist Kay Simpson notes it is likely 200 to 300 years old, preserved by benign neglect, with siltation now covering the rocks. It may join the National Historic Register this summer.
