All About Holland 2026

THINGS TO DO

The Pump House

Built as a Edison Power Plant in 1901, this charming museum is the last surviving structure of the Hotel Ottawa complex that burned in 1923. The Pump House tells the stories of Holland’s historic coastline and is a central feature on the Black Lake Boardwalk that links the Mt. Pisgah dune climb to Holland State Park. Open weekends in June and daily July to Labor Day. Seasonal 2282 Ottawa Beach Rd, 49424

Civil War Muster

Experience the sights and sounds of these tumultuous years in our nation’s history: smell the powder, hear the boom of cannons, and talk to famous generals as they plan their assaults. Each September, “Abraham Lincoln” and other historic figures gather at the onetime home of Civil War veteran Ben Van Raalte, a son of Holland’s founder. Van Raalte Farm is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, making it the perfect backdrop for our annual Civil War Muster. September 19 + 20, 2026. 1076 E. 16th St, 49423

Erin Bell

Oz Sculpture Garden

Just steps from downtown and minutes from the author’s summer cottage, this Oz tribute features two whimsical exhibits. Begin in Centennial Park to marvel at the towering plant-sculpted novel (seasonal), then follow the Yellow Brick Road by the Herrick Library, where seven life-sized bronze statues bring the original Wizard of Oz illustrations to life. 300 S. River Ave, 49423
