The Miniature Village, found on the second floor of the Vermeer Windmill, began in 1938 as a work-study project for students from Pella's community schools and Central College. Over the years, dedicated volunteers have invested countless hours into its creation. This detailed display beautifully depicts life in the Netherlands during the 1840s, complete with scenes from all four seasons. With its incredible attention to detail, the Miniature Village is definitely worth a visit!
