SUMMARY:Windmill Island Gardens Opening Day
DESCRIPTION:Join Windmill Island Gardens for the first day of the 2025 season on April 14!  \n\n\n\nMany visitors to Holland are looking for signs of our Dutch heritage and find examples all throughout town. However\, THE place to go to get a taste of our area’s Dutch history and culture is Windmill Island Gardens! \n\n\n\nFortunately\, a group of City Fathers in the 1950s and 60s recognized the importance of keeping our heritage alive as well as providing a place where community-members and visitors could gather. They were able to procure the last working windmill allowed to leave the Netherlands in 1964. The historic windmill ‘de Zwaan’ is the highlight of our park and stands amongst 36 acres of exhibits\, gardens and natural areas. The mill still turns and grinds grain into flour and a tour up 5 floors is the highlight of any visit to the park. \n\n\n\nAdmission is $13 for adults and $6 for ages 3 to 15. Holland residents are admitted free of charge with their Holland\, MI drivers license with the exception of Tulip Time and special events.

SUMMARY:Slavery in Dutch New York and The Tools of Historical Research
DESCRIPTION:Join Historian and Hope College alumni Michael Douma for a fascinating talk highlighting how the study of economics\, demographics\, and statistics has led to a radical re-examination of slavery in colonial New York. \n\n\n\nJoin Historian and Hope College alumni Michael Douma for a fascinating talk highlighting how the study of economics\, demographics\, and statistics has led to a radical re-examination of slavery in colonial New York. This lecture will explore how historical methods have uncovered the often-overlooked presence of Dutch-speaking slaves in the state\, even into the early 19th century\, and will answer key questions surrounding their fates—where did they go and why has their story been largely forgotten in the broader narrative of American slavery? This Tales From The Archives event is in partnership with the Zeeland Historical Society and Hope College’s History Department. It will take place at Winants Auditorium inside Graves Hall on Hope College’s Campus\, located at 263 College Avenue.

SUMMARY:Spring Tour & TreatsTracking Migration: Mexicans and Mexican Americans in Ottawa County\, 1920-1950Spring Tour & Treats
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will analyze the migration patterns of ethnic Mexicans in Ottawa County. \n\n\n\nWhy did Mexican immigrants first come to Holland in the early 1920s? What sort of welcome did they find upon their arrival? How did the experiences of Mexicans and Mexican Americans in Holland change over the first few decades of their settlement in Ottawa county? This presentation will answer these questions and more by analyzing the migration patterns of ethnic Mexicans in Ottawa County. It will draw upon genealogical sources\, such as U.S. Census records\, historical newspaper archives\, oral history interviews and archival documents from the Holland Museum collections. Through this research various aspects of Mexican and Mexican American life in the area will be highlighted including living conditions\, occupations\, residency\, and education. The presentation will conclude with an analysis of the how Mexicans and Mexican Americans were racialized in Holland’s distinctive ethnic community.
