The city of Pella, IA, (our "midway" stop point today) was founded by Dutch immigrants. The picture below is the Vermeer Windmill, a fully functional 1850s-style windmill, reaching 134 feet (41 m) high. The Vermeer Mill grinds wheat into flour using only wind power and is the tallest working windmill in the United States. The city is also home of Pella Windows and Doors.
