ARTifacts at the Armory!

You’re invited to be part of an extraordinary effort to preserve a special part of Holland’s history. The Holland Museum is partnering with local business owner Art Tolsma to preserve and showcase his unique collection of historic signage and treasured artifacts from Holland-area businesses. This three-stage project will include sign installation in the Holland Armory, brand new storage construction, and labeling. Together, we’re celebrating and preserving Holland’s rich history.
