One of the main sights on the main square in Pella is the Vermeer Windmill. It was designed in the Netherlands and disassembled and shipped to Pella for reassembly in 2002. It’s replica of an 1850s city mill that would be built high on a hill to catch the wind. At 12 stories high and 124’ from ground to blade tip, it’s the tallest working mill in the US.
Bob and I decided not to spend the $40 that it would have cost for both of us to tour the windmill, but we did check out the very cute gift shop. Instead, we decided to walk around Central College near downtown. Central College is a private college that is associated with the Reformed Church in America. It was established in 1853 and has been accredited since 1942. It has an enrollment of just over 1,000 students.

After our walk around campus, we checked out a cute local market down the street.

Yes, but here’s hoping it doesn’t spawn a new trend in photo collecting!
