Description:
The Holland Museum and Cappon and Settlers House Museums exhibit the history of Holland. The Cappon House is the Victorian home of Holland's first mayor. The Museum offers the first floor gallery as a study of Holland's history. The second floor is a wonderful exhibit of Dutch art and artifacts. We also have an extensive archives open to the public. We use volunteers in a number of positions. There are volunteer opportunities for docents, education docents, guides, hospitality, program assistants, handymen, archives and collections. It is possible to volunteer as much as your schedule allows. Some training is involved and these hours do count toward your volunteer hours. Please feel free to join us at a monthly training.Attendance does not commit you to volunteering.

History:
The Holland Museum was first known as The Netherlands Museum and was in the now Bed and Breakfast on the southeast corner of Centennial Park. the Cappon House was bought in 1980 and opened to the public in 1982. Renovations are still ongoing. The Museum moved to the present building ( the former post office) in 1992. The Trust also owns the Holland Armory which now houses the offices of the Museum.
