There are 170 churches in Holland and boasts
the founding of the "What Would Jesus Do" bracelets in
the 1990s. The Heinz pickle factory has operated in the same
location since 1897, and Holland has one of the most
photographed lighthouses in Michigan, Holland Harbor Light. A
250-year old original Dutch windmill is located in a municipal
park and stands 125 feet tall with 40-foot sails.
In May of each year, Holland hosts the Tulip
Time Festival, which draws huge numbers of visitors with its
traditional Dutch costume, marching bands, and wooden shoe
dances. Holland is served by two airports – Park Township
Airport and the larger Tulip City Airport – as well as Amtrak
train service.
The average climate in Holland is 20-30 degrees
in winter and activities that are popular are tobogganing,
snowshoeing or enjoying time in the aquatic center. With
temperatures of 70 degrees in summer, this makes visiting the
museums, lighthouse and windmill gardens a delight.
