I had been through Rutland a time or two in the past but completely missed this. Sometimes no matter how much you plan and research stuff, some of the neatest things just show up out of left field.
The Rutland hydroelectric plant was constructed in 1923 by the Northern Iowa Power Company, and is out of service. It is now owned by the Humboldt County Conservation Board, which maintains Rose Mill Park located on both sides of the Des Moines River.
