Pella, IA
Established in 1847 by a group of Dutch immigrants, the prairie side town of Pella is home to structures with classically Flemish stepped gable designs, a canal that includes a working drawbridge, the tallest active grain windmill in the country, and lots of other Netherlands-inspired features.
It even has a wooden shoemaker shop and a decorative pond that’s shaped like a wooden shoe. Go on a picnic with some gouda cheese and Dutch letters, a buttery puff pastry filled with almond paste, in one of the town’s flower-filled parks.
And be sure to also visit this midwest dream in springtime to catch their annual Tulip Time festival.
