A Guide to

Art& A

Historic Holland’s

HOLLAND, MICHIGAN

rchitectureWe’ve put together two tours to help you

explore Holland: one is for walkers, the

other more suitable for driving. The red

walking tour route highlights many

Downtown statues and historic buildings, and

takes you through Centennial Park, Holland’s

former “town square”, and the Hope College

campus. The orange route, which is more

suitable for driving, allows you to see more

of Holland’s outdoor art, including numerous

pieces made from recycled scrap metal. Their

repurposed nature speaks to the thriftiness

and creativity which makes up the fabric

of Holland.
