FOX 17 featured Holland collector Art Tolsma and his donation of roughly 5,000 artifacts connected to local businesses, industry, and community life. The collection is being preserved by the Holland Museum and housed at the Holland Armory as part of ARTifacts at the Armory.
The story explores how Tolsma’s years in the roofing business gave him a front-row view of Holland’s changing landscape and inspired him to save signs, objects, and pieces of local history that might otherwise have disappeared. It also highlights the museum’s work to document, preserve, and eventually share the collection with the public.
