Built in 1860 as a watch house, The Wickery later served many purposes in Amana. For a time it housed the umbrella shop, and later it became the farmers' chicken shed, where local non-Society farmers' chickens were kept after being brought to the Amana Store until prices were optimum. It was used as a warehouse in the 1930's, the belfry was added in July 1936, and from 1942 to 1954 the Amana Post Office was located there.
