Pella Receives Scholte Pulpit Through Tulip Time Display
The Scholte pulpit, brought to Pella during Tulip Time by Bert Bout for a furniture store display, will stay in Pella after Sara and Hanna Notlen of Des Moines donated historical papers to Central College and had the pulpit released from the State Historical Museum. The pulpit, brought from Amsterdam by the Nollen family, was used by Dominie Hendrik Peter Scholte in 1880 for speeches that spurred 700 Holland settlers to emigrate. The Nollens are descendants of Scholte’s youngest daughter known as Auntie Jo, whose husband John Nollen was cashier of Pella National Bank, the area’s first bank.
