Originally settled by Dutch immigrants in 1847, Pella has a colorful heritage unlike anywhere else in the United States. The city holds the honor of being home to the bbiggest operational grain windmill in America, and the architecture here will make visitors feel like they've been transported straight to the streets of Holland. There are several interesting museums you can visit if you'd like to learn about the area's culture and history, and Pella is also a wonderful place to base yourself if you'd like to spend some time at the largest lake in the state, Lake Red Rock.
