Polder Mill

North Holland · April 1915

The polder lies below the water. A mill lifts it out, and a family works the mill. This is their land in April 1915, and the life along the canal around them.

Seven stops make one walk: the dike road, the polder, the road to market, the bulb fields, the miller’s house, a ride on the milk boat and the farm, each with a chapter on what you see. Walk on foot from any of them, change the weather, or turn on the sound.

The mill is drawn after Nederwaard No. 2 at Kinderdijk; the rest is a composite of North Holland. Sources, credits and how it was built are under About.
