Neuland Colony (Neu-Halbstadt)
Neu-Halbstadt
A Mennonite colony founded after World War II, whose central town of Neu-Halbstadt has a history museum and a German-style small-town look.
The Neuland Colony was founded in 1947 by Mennonite refugees who had fled the Soviet Union, and it is the youngest of the three major Mennonite colonies. The central town of Neu-Halbstadt keeps tidy German-style streets, and its history museum displays migrant artefacts. Surrounding it are cattle ranches and Chaco forest. It can be combined with a same-day trip to Boquerón Fort, and the colony is about 35 km from Filadelfia.
