Historical Village

What started as one building has grown to a 22-building complex, covering Pella's history beginning in the 1840s. Inside the Historical Village, you'll see...

 

  • Beason-Blommers Mill and Blacksmith Shop

  • Log Cabin, moved piece by piece from a local farm

  • Werkplaats, the place where wooden shoes are made

  • Sterrenberg Library and Delft House, which houses an extensive antique Delft collection

  • Scholte Church, a replica of Dominie Scholte's first church in Pella

  • Heritage Hall, which houses antiques, costumes, and vignettes of Dutch daily life, as well as Goliath, our authentic Dutch street organ

  • Bakery, completely refurbished as a working bakery of the 1850s

  • Meat and Cheese Shop, a tribute to the legacy of Pella's meat markets

  • Sod House, a replica of the housing of Pella's pioneers during their early years

​

...and much more. We invite you to come explore all the wonderful displays, artifacts, and exhibits that the Historical Village offers. Open Monday through Friday from 10:00am-5:00pm, and Saturday from 10:00am-4:00pm.
