Holland Young Professionals

For the first Unwind of 2008, HYP is digging up the past…at the Holland Museum. The Holland Museum features permanent exhibits on Holland’s history “from settlement to city” and over 400 years of Dutch History in their Dutch Galleries. Built in 1914, on the former Post Office site, The Holland Museum houses a fascinating collection of artifacts. Exhibits focus on the story of the early Dutch settlement and its development into a thriving and diverse city.

Join your fellow HYP “Dutch” for free admission, refreshments, networking and a lesson in Holland History! Museum membership and donor information will be available onsite to support this important part of Holland’s history. To study up or for more information on The Holland Museum visit www.hollandmuseum.org. The Holland Museum is located at 31 West 10th Street in Downtown Holland across from Centennial Park.

Don’t forget your Power of One item, BODY LOTION, for an extra chance to win a one-year Museum Membership! Kudos to you! Last month over 100 sets of mittens, hats, scarves were collected at the Warm Up to Winter to keep area children toasty warm during the frigid Lakeshore Winter!
