What our visitors are saying about their experience
-
Thanks again for your excellent guided tour. We both LOVED the enthusiasm and your team’s thorough explanations.
J. H., Corte Madera, CA -
We really like living in Michigan and it was fun to learn about Holland. We liked the rooms in the Cappon House better than the Settlers House because they were fancier and bigger! We liked seeing all the rooms. We hope we can visit the museum again!

Thoroughly enjoyed! Loved seeing many items similar to those that have been passed down in my husband’s family.
