About Holland Historical Society Museum

The historical society occupies a former Congregational church set on a hillside of farmland. Its holdings are mostly antiques from the late 1800s and early 1900s, donated by local families, and include clothing, household goods, tools, photographs, diaries, and letters. The group holds an annual dinner, an annual service that honors the building's original use, and an annual open house. It also welcomes first and second grade students, who use the collection to write their own books about Holland's history. A restoration project covering foundation repair, a new roof, steeple work, and window restoration has been estimated at 67,000 dollars; the society has raised 12,000 dollars and expects a state grant to close the gap.
