Scholte House
In 1847, 800 Hollanders, under the leadership of Dominie Scholte, left the Netherlands for America. They settled down in Iowa and created a town named Pella. Pella means "City of Refuge". Dominie promised his wife to build a house like the one she left in Holland. He held true to his word and about 1 year later the house was ready. The structure had 22 rooms and there have been additions and deletions.
