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.
