You'll find folks making cheese and wooden shoes, just like they did hundreds of years ago. It's a place that's peaceful, where you can hear birds singing and smell fresh tulips.

Inside, they're filled with heirloom furniture and personal family treasures. The windmills, tall and proud against the sky, are a big part of the story too.
