A special conference remembering the life of Pella’s founder will be held by Pella Historical Society.
Local Historian Lisa Zylstra tells KNIA/KRLS News they are bringing in experts from Canada and the Netherlands, as well as local historians, to talk about the history and significance of Dominie Scholte 150 years after his death. She says the speakers will be presenting topics as varied as Scholte’s impact on Pella to his religious legacy.
The conference takes place August 15-17, and the cost to register is $95. Find registration details at pellahistorical.org.
