Pella Iowa

 Pella has a Dutch heritage with an inviting show of tulips still visible when I stopped by 12 May 2021.

Near the square are the attractive Scholte Gardens.

...where you will see some interesting statues.

The old windmill has some good views of the town.

There are several interesting buildings or shops near the town center.

This is the second Opera House- construction began 21 July 1900 see history

Pella is worth a stop and I would recommend Tulip time- the festival is the first full weekend of May.
