PELLA VISITORS GUIDE PELLA VISITORS GUIDE 15 15 Walking TOUR Walking around PELLA is the best way to immerse yourself in its history, culture and charm. Among the more celebrated attractions and landmarks are countless small wonders that will tempt the historian, the shopper, the diner, and the curious child in you. So don your walking shoes and enjoy a self-guided walking tour of our Dutch village! Begin your tour at the 1 PELLA VISITORS CENTER (818 Washington) where you will be warmly welcomed and armed with maps and other useful information. From there, you will hike east on Washington Street to the 2 SCHOLTE HOUSE MUSEUM & GARDENS (728 Washington) where you will be able to take an historic tour of the original founder, Dominie Peter Scholte's, splendid 23-room mansion, as well as meander through breathtaking gardens and well-kept paths behind the house and snap a photo of artfully rendered sculptures. Stroll south across Washington Street through Pella's shaded and flower-adorned 3 CENTRAL PARK where you pass a tiered fountain, a massive armillary sundial flanked by a circular flower bed, a Civil War statue, a WWII cannon, our information windmill and the 65-foot high 4 TULIP TOREN (Dutch for tower) which presides over the south side of the block. This tower was erected in 1968 and is the site of the annual Tulip Queen coronation in early May during Pella's popular Tulip Festival. Over 20,000 tulip bulbs are planted each year in Central Park alone. Saunter either way along Franklin and Main Streets and you will be able to dip into many charming shops, bakeries, meat markets and eateries. As you gaze to the east on Franklin, you can't miss seeing the rotating blades of the largest working grain windmill in the U.S., the 5 VERMEER MILL (Corner of East 1st and Franklin), which is connected to the Interpretive Center and the block-square Historical Museum. Here in this historical complex, step back in time as you stroll along flower-lined walking paths and tour over twenty historical buildings, including the 6 WYATT EARP HOUSE and the stately, spired 7 SCHOLTE CHURCH, a cherished and imtimate site for weddings and other celebrations. After your tour of the Historical Museum, find you way back west towards downtown on Franklin, peek into the historic 8 PELLA OPERA HOUSE. Then take a quick left and stroll through the 9 KLOKKENSPEL's brick courtyard where you can look up and watch mechanical Dutch figures perform to the music of a 147-bell carillon. As you walk south past more alluring flower beds, you will emerge into the MOLENGRACHT CANAL area - an impressive grouping of European-inspired buildings graced by a Dutch canal and a working drawbridge. Walking west along the canal, toward Main Street, and glancing to the south, you will see the PUBLIC SAFETY FIREHOUSE MUSEUM to the east and the beautiful PELLA COMPLEX and the historic PUBLIC LIBRARY to the west. Turn back north on Main to complete your walking tour, meandering through Central Park back to your starting point. Check out more details on these attractions by going to our listings on page 36. Follow the route by referring to the downtown map in this activity guide. 16 W WW W W. P.

P E L LP AE L VL IAS IVTI OS RI ST O GR US I DG EU I D E 29 29 TYPES OF FISH AT LAKE RED ROCK WALLEYE Fish along the old river channel where the water depth drops off and along the face of the dam where sand rock meets mud and grass. Also fish the river during cold weather months. Back trolling crank baits can provide fast action. TYPES OF FISH AT LAKE RED ROCK LARGEMOUTH BASS Fish the rocks around the Marina point, the face of the dam among the rocks and off of the old Wallashuck boat ramp. CRAPPIE Fish around underwater structures, brushy areas, Roberts Creek viaduct, near bridge pilings at the upper end of the lake, and the Whitebreast Creek shallows prior to spawning. Use jigs and minnows for bait. WHITE BASS Fish the Whitebreast Creek shallows during spawning. In August there is a two-week time period when they are extremely easy to catch at locations like Marina point, Whitebreast point and any rocky shoreline. During other times of the year fish in the tailwater areas below the dam. Use 1/4, 1/8 or 1/16 oz. white and or yellow jigs in tandem for bait. NORTHERN PIKE Fish in the Tailwater areas and use large lures with lots of flash such as spoons or crankbaits and a fast retrieve. Floating jigs with chubs or large minnows are effective in the spring. CHANNEL CATFISH Fish areas just above cut banks, snags, rocks and other submerged structures on the lake and in the river. Use cut bait or dead minnows during late winter and spring and use a prepared stink bait during the summer months when the lake is stable or rising. FLATHEAD CATFISH Fish with small sunfish under cut banks and holes on the river after dark.crank baits can provide fast action. 30 30 W WW WW .WP .E PL EL LA L.
