For a sample of Dutch history, make plans to travel to Southern Iowa for the Pella Tulip Festival.  There will be street cleaning, parades, special baked goods and flower gardens to enjoy.  Only 20 minutes away, you can stay in the beautiful, historic McNeill Stone Mansion Bed and Breakfast located in a residential neighborhood of Oskaloosa IA.  Between Pella and Oskaloosa, stop and walk along the vinyards and sample the award winning wines of Tassel Ridge Winery.  You can savor history, unique architecture, wonderful food and wine all in one weekend.
