“The holland museum shares the story of holland, michigan, from the arrival by dutch immigrants to today's innovative, successful, and diverse community. In the main museum, there are thousands of fascinating historic objects, as well as artwork from the netherlands from the 1600s through the 1900s. Sparklab smithsonian, with rotating stem activities is a highlight for families of all ages. Additional temporary exhibits offer something new regularly. Two historic homes showcasing how people lived in the late 1800s are part of the trust's properties: the settlers house is a small family home that was lived in by a series of working class families over the course of its long history. Built around 1867, the building survived the great holland fire of 1871 and was continuously lived in until the 1990s. Today, the home has been restored to how it would have appeared in 1871. The cappon house was the home of holland's first mayor and local tannery proprietor, isaac cappon. Built in 1874, it is now partially restored to its appearance in 1900. Visitors to the cappon house step back in time, immersing themselves in the stories of isaac cappon and his large family.”
