HISTORY + HERITAGE

8 www.holland.org

Holland Museum/ Art Tazelaar family

Up until a few centuries ago , Michigan was inhabited solely by Native American tribes. When French fur traders arrived in the early 1600’s, the people they first encountered were likely members of the Ottawa nation, whose Indian name means “traders.” Over two hundred years later, an Ottawa leader, Chief Joseph Wakazoo, scouted a location for a colony. His tribe settled on the shores of the Black River, just a few miles f rom what is today Holland, Michigan. In 1846, another group began their journey to the area, this time f rom the Netherlands. Dreaming of a life without the financial depression and religious oppression of his homeland, the Reverend Albertus C. Van Raalte persuaded a small band of men, women and children to board the sailing brig, “Southerner,” and embark on a 47-day voyage across the Atlantic. Through hard work and resilience, the Dutch built the “Holland Kolonie." Within a half dozen years, a few hotels, an assortment of shops and burgeoning industry lay in the midst of the wilderness. By the early 1860’s, Holland was an agricultural port and had an institution of higher learning that would become Hope College. In the early 1870’s, two railroad spurs further stimulated economic development. One ill-fated spark, however, almost wiped out the bustling town on October 9, 1871 (the same date as the Great Chicago Fire). Even though nearly everything burned, the community demonstrated its resolve, and Holland rose f rom the ashes, stronger than ever.

20th century Holland was a thriving industrial district known for its furniture manufacturers and for the Holland Furnace Company, the H.J. Heinz Company and the Chris Craft Corporation. During the 1920’s, “Tulip Time” was born and would become one of the nation's most celebrated flower festivals. Because of its inviting lakeside location, Holland also became a favored destination for vacationers f rom Chicago and St. Louis, spurring the construction of ornate resort hotels and family cottages. As late as the 1950’s, 90% of Holland residents still claimed Dutch heritage. The town, however, already had begun its evolution to a community rich with many cultures. The decade before, the first Hispanic migrant farm workers arrived to take jobs in fields and food processing plants, many staying permanently due to year round work and educational opportunities. Later, following the Vietnam War, Asian refugees traveled halfway around the world to make Holland their new home. Like the immigrants before them, these groups came in search of a better life and also added to the multifaceted fabric of our community. 2022 Holland is an increasingly diverse city which welcomes new residents f rom across the globe. Today’s immigrants come because they know Holland is a place to raise a healthy family, enjoy a vibrant retirement, and find a meaningful community. Sprinkle in a dynamic economy, strong civic pride, and abundant arts and educational offerings, and you describe a modern-day settlement evolved far beyond the wildest dreams of the Dutch visionaries who gave “Holland” its name.

HOLLAND MUSEUM + DUTCH GALLERIES 31 W 10th St • (616) 796.3329 • hollandmuseum.org

From the old country to the new world, the Holland Museum presents a distinctive collection of art and artifacts that tell the rich history of Holland, Michigan -- from the arrival of the Dutch in 1847 through our diverse ethnic heritage of today. Immerse yourself in stories of settlers, developing industry, Great Lakes ships, the Holland Fire and much more. Don’t miss rare artifacts such as the dog butter churner, Indonesian guardian statues, Dia de los Muertos painting and the Southerner’s passenger list. See how Dutch heritage has impacted Holland’s identity and success in the Dutch Galleries. This extensive collection of art from the Netherlands dates from the 1600s through 1900s and includes the restored 1939 World’s Fair Clock. The museum also offers special hands-on learning opportunities. Currently, it is only one of 10 museums in the U.S. offering the Smithsonian Spark!Lab -- an ideal fit considering Holland’s history of entrepreneurship and innovation. Learn more about exhibits, walking tours and special events on the museumwebsite, and don’t miss Contemporary Native American Portraits , an exciting addition February 4 - June 20, 2022. Visit Monday, Friday or Saturday 10am-5pm ( $ ) or enjoy FREE Second Mondays each month 4 pm-7 pm. Just a few blocks from the Holland Museum, the Cappon and Settlers Houses tell the story of Holland’s first mayor and our earliest working-class settlers. The Cappon House, an Italianate Victorian beautifully restored to its 1900 appearance, was once occupied by Isaac Cappon and his 16 children. Family members lived in the house until 1979, and many personal belongings and family photos remain. Visitors marvel at the home’s exquisite construction, wood workmanship and period Michigan-made furniture. Just five doors down, the Settlers House offers a sharp contrast. This humble cottage was built in 1867 by Thomas Morrissey, a Canadian immigrant and ship’s carpenter. It survived the Great Holland Fire of 1871 and was home to a series of blue-collar families through the 1990’s. Artifacts from the area’s settlement period from 1845-1880 furnish this intriguing slice of Holland history. Tours are available by appointment only and begin at the Cappon Barn. To reserve your trip back in time through both homes, please contact Loren Harvey at loren@hollandmuseum.org .

BIG RED LIGHTHOUSE

Amy Biere

To enjoy the full Big Red experience , begin at Mt. Pisgah, where a dune staircase carries you 157 feet above sea level to a breathtaking panorama of the shoreline and its colorful guard. Explore a sand dune forest and then retrace your steps toward the Black Lake Boardwalk. A favorite stroll for visitors and locals alike, this path skirts Lake Macatawa and the channel, ending at Holland State Park’s north pier – the best place to view Big Red. (Prefer to stay in the comfort of your car? You can also drive directly to the Holland State Park and still thoroughly delight in the view.) Access to the lighthouse is limited to these stunning vistas across the channel. Enjoy your journey to sugar sands where you can watch fishermen cruise past our treasured icon into the beauty of Lake Michigan.

Don’t miss Michigan’s most photographed lighthouse , Holland’s beloved “Big Red.” The three-story square tower building stands sentinel over the channel connecting Lake Macatawa and Lake Michigan. Our iconic lighthouse has a long and rich history dating back to the first wooden beacon light built on the site in 1870. The structure made many evolutions: to a steel tower, to a fog signal building, to its final form as the electric lighthouse we know and love. The narrow channel that Big Red illuminates today would never have been a reality without the determination of Dutch settlers to create an agricultural port in Lake Macatawa. Unable to fund removal of silt and sandbars blocking access, the settlers took up their own picks and shovels and dug a channel to Lake Michigan themselves.

HOLLAND BOWL MILL

Holland Bowl Mill

It can take almost 100 years for a hardwood tree to develop the grains that make each bowl so beautiful, and the skilled artisans who handle the wood give it the reverence it deserves. For over a month, they lovingly hand carve, dry, sand and oil each piece, touching each one over 100 times in the process. In the showroom, you can learn the history of this fascinating business while admiring the unique characteristics of each piece. Artistry is displayed not only in stackable bowls, but also in one-of-a kind charcuterie boards, pens and whimsical carvings. All come with a lifetime guarantee and can be personalized on site. Looking for a special gift that will last generations? Pick one from this business that has already done so.

One of the last of its kind in America , the Holland Bowl Mill makes exquisitely crafted solid hardwood bowls the same way as over 150 years ago. This 4th generation family business remains a master of this vanishing art. Come visit their showroom and see the factory where antique machinery is buzzing, sawdust is flying, and the scent of fresh cut wood perfumes the air. While the Holland Bowl Mill family honors the time-tested processes of their ancestors, they also embrace a modern-day appreciation of the environment. Their no-waste manufacturing methods begin with harvesting hardwood logs from sustainable forests throughout Michigan and the Midwest. A clever nesting technique is used, so when a 17” bowl is carved, a 15-, 12- and 9-inch bowl is created at the same time out of the same wood block. Larger scrap pieces are transformed into grilling planks and wooden spoons. Smaller scraps become firewood, and shavings become animal bedding.

“The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was written solely to pleasure the children of today. It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out .” - L. Frank Baum, 1900 - The Wonderful Wizard of Oz The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is one of the best-known stories in American literature. Author L. Frank Baum spent summers vacationing at Macatawa Park on the shores of Lake Michigan. This area inspired Baum to write the classic novel, and his great grandson believes parts of the timeless tale were written while staying at his family’s cottage, “The Sign of the Goose.” We invite you to celebrate the seasonal book and its characters at a f ree outdoor exhibit just a short distance f rom the author’s cottage and steps f rom downtown.

If you’re looking for a beautiful spring destination, think Tulip Time in Holland, Michigan!

FRESH BLOOMS:

The festival began in 1929 when the City of Holland saw its first crop of 100,000 tulips bloom. Since then, Holland has blossomed each spring with millions of tulips. Celebrating our 93rd year in 2022, Tulip Time has grown over the decades to be so much more than a flower festival. Today the splendor continues, with fun events and activities for all ages. Tulip Time parades are some of the largest and most spectacular events in Michigan. Thousands of spectators line the streets to watch amazing floats, marching bands and Dutch Dancers in over two miles of pure celebration. Throughout the week, Dutch Dancers also perform throughout our bloomingdowntown, high-kicking their wooden shoes through traditional folkdances. Beyond the beautiful, this special week offers a great variety of national and local entertainment, a carnival, fireworks and much more. We invite you to experience our award-winning festival. Tulip Time was named Best Flower Festival by USA Today , was included in the Fodor’s Travel list of America’s Best Spring Flower Festivals, and was awarded Tulip Festival of the Year by the World Tulip Summit. Tulip Time is truly an experience you don’t want to miss!

For the 2022 Tulip Time Festival, Holland will be welcoming two international exhibits never seen before in the U.S.:

TULIP IMMERSION GARDEN: THE JOURNEY OF THE TULIP World renowned Dutch horticulturist, Ibo Gülsen, will create a week long immersion experience, taking travelers through the historic journey of the tulip f rom Turkey, to the Netherlands, to Holland, Michigan. Gülsen will elevate 50,000 tulips of 36 varieties and all colors to eye-level, offering a unique sensory delight and once-in-a lifetime, Instagrammable photo-op. ZEELAND GIRL: BEYOND TRADITION Zeeuws Meisje (Zeeland Girl), is a collaborative project between Dutch photographer, Rem van den Bosch, and the dressmakers he enlisted to recreate traditional dresses with a modern spin. The spirit of current-day Zeeland is captured in towering, 10-foot tall photographic displays standing side-by-side with 25 of the dresses used in the series. Located in the historic Holland Armory, this f resh comment on the need for mutual respect, solidarity and care for the environment is a must-see.
