Fulton Fall Colors Day Trip
Arrive in Fulton and take in the breath taking colors of Fall while looking out over the Mississippi River during your visit to the Fulton's authentic Dutch Windmill, "De Immigrant", a prefabricated Netherlands' working windmill, erected by Dutch craftsmen. The windmill sits on the flood control dike right in the heart of the city and houses Fulton's Welcome Center and Gift Shop.
Located across the street, the Windmill Cultural Center, is Fulton's newest attraction. The WCC houses an extensive collection of 21 European windmills. The windmills vary in size between three feet and six feet tall. Henk and June Hielema designed and built the collection after returning home from their extensive travels in Europe. The mills are from ten European countries: Belgium, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and The Netherlands. Informative interpretive materials compliment the windmill collection providing unique information on the products produced by windmills, country of origin, windmill specifications, and the cultural impact of windmills. Browse the charming gift shop where visitors can purchase fresh stone-ground flour, Delft pottery, and souvenirs of Fulton, the Windmill Cultural Center, and the windmill.
