Orange City, Iowa is known for dutch heritage and it's windmills. The community will soon have six more in the downtown park.
"Tulip Park" is undergoing a major renovation and city leaders have decided to bring in several new attractions.
There will be extra stage space at the band shell, a new open-air shelter with a patio and tables, and six new windmills modeling the history of the Netherlands.
Orange City Parks and Recreation Director Todd Larson says, "We're going to try to have a kiosk, with information that describes each windmill, the time period it's from, and what it was used for. So we're going to try to tie a little education in with it too."
The windmills were donated by a couple living in Wisconsin that has family in the Orange City area.
The entire park project is expected to be complete by the fall of 2007.
