Dutch Iowan Holiday
Hear from influencer and social media marketing advisor, Melissa Church,
all about her time in Pella. She includes her and her husband’s favorite places
to dine, drink, and learn about Pella’s rich Dutch culture.
There’s a look the Midwest has here in America. Farm-
land, corn, barns, and boring towns that look identical
to every other stop along the highway. Although none
of these stereotypes are true for Pella, Iowa.
Pella, Iowa is an oasis of Dutch heritage tucked away
quietly outside of Des Moines. Driving along the
winding road towards Pella is exactly what you’d
expect for a Midwest town. Then, after that final turn it
seems you landed in The Netherlands. Every building
is a picturesque caricature of life far away.
My husband, Sam, and I discovered Pella together, as
neither of us had visited before. We had heard stories
of a magical Tulip Time where flowers take the stage
and cover the entire town in tourism and culture. We
decided to visit Pella in July and see a more laid-back
version of town. From dawn until dusk, Sam and I
explored Downtown Pella. Navigating the Pella
Historical District helped shape our pending
adventure by teaching us all about Pella’s earliest
residents, the Dutch culture, and the history of this
delightful town. Hours were spent reading and taking
in all the museum had to offer. The only thing that
could draw us away was the thought of lunch and the
choices we had to make for where to go! There are
only so many meals to eat on one trip and we had
some major decisions to make. We had not planned on
Pella being such a foodie destination!
The remainder of the day was spent visiting as
many local shops as we could, as well as
snacking our way through town, while trying to
take mental pictures of the world around us. A
quick turn off the main path took us to another
unexpected change of scenery. The Molengracht
Plaza made us unable to blink; worrying we
would wake up from the dream we must’ve been
in. I couldn’t accurately describe the beauty of
the Molengracht Plaza, and saying a canal
breaking up the walkway between shops
doesn’t give full justice.
As we packed up to leave Pella, Sam and I shared
a look of disappointment in knowing we had
to go back to The Real World. We were only in
Pella for a weekend but it was one of the best
trips we’ve taken in a long time. Since we left in
July, every weekend outing and daytrip, Pella is
thrown into the discussion. “Let’s go back!”
I shared some photos and videos online of our
excursion when some of my friends from The
Netherlands had to double-take to ensure I
wasn’t actually next door. “Melissa! Are you still
in America?” I may have been physically in Amer-
ica, but I was spiritually across the oceans experi-
encing Iowa like it’s never been seen before.
“The Molengracht Plaza made us unable to
blink; worrying we would wake up from the
dream we must’ve been in.”
