Review:
In honor of their Dutch heritage, the citizens of Nederland, Texas, built this 40-foot exact replica of a Dutch windmill in 1970. It houses a museum that displays Western and Dutch artifacts on three floors. On the ground floor, visitors will see artifacts from the town’s celebrity, Tex Ritter, who was a popular country western singer. Dutch artifacts in the Dutch Windmill Museum include a steamer trunk that made the voyage from the Netherlands, wooden shoes, and the Olympic gold medal in the high jump from Walt “Buddy” Davis in the 1952 Summer Olympics. The museum includes a small gift shop with items from the Netherlands for sale.
