Embarking on an international adventure doesn’t always require a passport. Heck, you don’t even have to leave the state. Simply hop in the car and head to the village of Little Chute, which is where you’ll find an authentic Dutch windmill. You can do more than admire the towering structure, though. It’s open for tours, so you can step inside and get a real feel for the Netherlands. Take a look:

The Little Chute Windmill can be found in Little Chute, a charming village in Outagamie County.

A tribute to Wisconsin’s Dutch heritage, the authentic 1850s windmill was designed and built in the Netherlands.

After 15 years of planning, the windmill arrived in Little Chute in 2012.

In order to be shipped to Little Chute, it had to be disassembled — and then reassembled, which required a team from Holland and a giant crane.

Well worth the effort, the windmill is a favorite of both locals and tourists.

Like a little piece of the Netherlands right here in the Badger State, the windmill is surrounded by colorful tulips.

At more than 100’ tall and fully functioning, the windmill is truly a sight to see — inside and out.
