Het Pink (The Yearling)
Oil mill on the Pinkstraat in Koog aan de Zaan
History
In 1939, a ministerial decree obliged Dutch city councils to inform the minister whenever a mill in their municipality was taken out of service. In the case of Het Pink the minister was extensively briefed on the restoration plans and future ideas for the mill which enabled the relatively newly formed Society to restore the mill to its former glory by not only providing the funds but also by using the combined skills and talents of its members. The restoration process was supervised by Pieter Boorsma the then curator and co-founder of the Society. By the end of1939 the mill was looking as splendid as ever.
