This was my third time at Pella OB. What a great church- It was a wonderful concert. I also snapped some shots of downtown. Pella is home to a the largest working Dutch windmill in the US!
Vermeer Mill Facts:
- Windmill is 100% wind powered
- Total height to the tip of the most upright blade is 124', giving the Vermeer Mill the distinction of being the tallest working windmill in the United States
- Built by Lucas Verbij from Hoogemade, Netherlands and assembled in Pella by two Dutch craftsmen
- Authentic, working grain mill patterned after a similar 1850s grain mill in the province of Groningen, Netherlands
- The Vermeer Mill reflects Pella's Dutch and agricultural history
- Built taller than surrounding buildings and trees so the blades capture the wind
The Vermeer Mill grinds wheat into flour using only wind power and is the tallest working windmill in the United States.
