Happy Tulip Time, Pella!
From May 6th to 8th, the town of Pella in central Iowa celebrates its annual flower festival as thousands of tulips bloom in harmony all around the town’s historical Dutch Village.
As part of the festival, Pella Historical Society and Museums will also open the Wyatt Earp Experience, an immersive storytelling experience that will breathe new life into the heritage Van Spanckeren Row House and shed light on the lives of iconic lawman Wyatt Earp and his family. The exhibition is located in the renovated historical house, where the young Wyatt Earp lived from the time he was 2 until 16, and more precisely with his family during the Civil War, from 1861 to 1864.
This mural covers a room mapping Wyatt’s journey through the West.
We look forward to showing you more content of this landmark exhibition, which people from across the USA will #visitpella to see! Here is an overview of the installation.
Different rooms of the house showcase Wyatt Earp’s childhood in Pella.
