Holland
Holland | Randall P. Vande Water, Mary E. Vande Water
3 posts | 1 read
Holland, Michigan, has a provincial feel while being cosmopolitan, offering the best of both worlds to residents and visitors alike. In 1847, emigrants from the Netherlands founded Holland. For 85 years, the city has remembered its heritage with Tulip Time, a festival that attracts 250,000 visitors each May to view six million tulips. Clinging to tradition, the residents of Holland dress in Dutch costumes to scrub streets and dance in wooden shoes as they are joined by parading bands in the shadow of a 200-year-old windmill. Over the last 50 years, Holland's cultural diversity has evolved along with an outstanding business community in which numerous industries and unique retail outlets flourish. The city is home to Hope College, has won America in Bloom floral honors, contains an award-winning hospital, and features sugar sand beaches.

What it looks like in town where I live-usually it‘s Tulip Time when a million plus people decend on a town that has a population of 30,000. I‘m sure if you‘re a visitor and you have no clue you‘ve entered alt right hell it‘s probably fun 🤣.
I live north town by the lake and generally hide from all things local 😅
However I‘m sure you‘d like to see the pretties 🌷These are the folks that made their own Dutch Holland- it is not original Holland🤪

How fun to read this short but picture and fax filled book about my hometown. I'll be sharing it in my Heartland Little Free Libraries next 😁
PS .. windmill in the background is DeZwaan, The windmill on the cover of this book and the only working Dutch windmill in the United States! It's still Mills grain that is sold locally and across the states. I believe it was the last windmill to be allowed to leave the Netherlands 😊
