Pella Historical Society and Museums is seeking the community’s support in preserving historic treasures locally.

Pella Historical Director Valerie Van Kooten tells KNIA/KRLS News they are approaching the goal of the $2.5 million Forging Our Future fund drive, and they are seeking the community’s support.

The three key projects include the Scholte House, the gardens adjoining it, and the Wyatt Earp House. So far, Van Kooten says the fund drive has gone well, with more than 130 businesses, organizations, and individuals contributing.
