Vermeer is a nationally recognized farm machinery company that got its start right here in Iowa. You might have already known that. But what you perhaps didn’t know is that a portion of the Vermeer complex (that’s still located right here in-state) is actually open to the public! It’s the Vermeer Museum and Global Pavilion on the outskirts of Pella, Iowa, and it’s filled to the brim with the history of the Vermeer Corporation and the Vermeer family. Inside, you’ll find a wide variety of artifacts, from actual farm equipment to photographs to marriage licenses to gifts from foreign dignitaries to so much more.
