Nollen farm a 129 year family legacy near Pella
Elmer and Marie Nollen live on an 180 acre farm three miles west of Pella on highway 163 that has stayed in the family for 129 years. Pieter Welle first settled the land, with ties to Dominic Scholte and John Grahm before the Nollens. They preserve original land grants and Dutch documents, some dating to 1812, now helping their genealogical research.
