The English language is filled with words and expressions, describing singular activities, that instruct and define specific functions. In the world of museums, whether art, historical, scientific, public or private, large or small, each carries forward the responsibility to uphold the past. The Holland Historical Trust (HHT) is no different in this regard. With over 16,000 objects in our collection, over 5,500 linear feet of historical archives, and two important 19th Century homes, the HHT subscribes, as do its sister institutions, to the notion of patrimony or the preservation of the past for the present, and more importantly for the future.

Contemporary writers, historians, psychologists, urban planners and concerned people everywhere, oftentimes, comment that modern humankind has created a disposable society that prefers to enhance the present rather than the past. Given the expansion of communications, technological breakthroughs, and rapidly expanding scientific knowledge, some things, and rightly so, will be left behind. Our mission at the Trust is to make sure, that the collective memorabilia of

the past, our patrimony, and that of the present becomes part of our heritage as treasured symbols of the way in which we’re seen and continue to see our selves.

“The past is prologue” wrote William Shakespeare in the “Tempest”. For the staff acting on behalf of the community, these words help to explain why we are absolutely committed to advancing the Trust’s reputation as the regional treasure house. We stand firm in our commitment to revere the past and educate in the present, in order to prepare for the future.

My tenure with the Holland Historical Trust has been most rewarding and the future bodes extremely well for the myriad activities presented by the Board of Trustees and its remarkable staff. The present stakeholders’ treasured patrimony is in good hands, as this permanent legacy moves into its 75th year.

Sincerely,Steven W. Rosen

Myth Busters

Al McGeehanDevelopment Director

As my career has moved from city hall to the second floor of the Holland Armory two important questions have continued to shadow me. One question is, “what is the difference between the Holland Historical Trust and the Holland Museum”? The second question is to clarify the matter of the governance of the museum and the nature of the museum’s long relationship with the city.

Quite possibly, questions about the museum are caused by the simple fact that we are known by two different names. On one had we are simply known around town as the Holland Museum. Everyone knows that our museum is best recognized in the form of the elegant former United States Post Office building, which stands at the corner of Tenth Street and River Avenue. This building is home to four exhibit galleries, our archives and an often-used education room. Of course we are known or should be known as the owners and caretakers of three other significant downtown structures these being the former Michigan National Guard Armory, the Cappon House and the Settler’s House all standing along a two block portion of Ninth Street.

On the other hand we are known as the Holland Historical Trust, which is the official name of our independent non-profit organization. As sometimes referred to simply as “The Trust”, our Board of Directors is currently comprised of fourteen volunteers who represent a broad spectrum of our community’s geography, business backgrounds and other important demographics. This board is the over arching governing body for all matters relating to the operations of the Holland Museum. All official correspondence that emanates from our museum offices is marked as follows:

Throughout the 75 year history of our museum, the City of Holland has recognized and highly regarded our mission and has contracted with us to provide services that they were unable to provide themselves. This was true when the city leased the former Holland Hospital building (Kremers House) at Twelfth Street and Central Avenue to us to serve as our first free-standing museum.

This historic relationship has now blossomed, as today the Holland Historical Trust cares for both the Cappon House and Post Office, which are city owned properties.

Most importantly, it must be clarified that the Holland Museum is not now nor has it ever been a Department of the City of Holland. The museum is not listed

nor is it funded on a city organizational chart such as is the case of a Planning Department or Parks Department. Yet for many years the museum has been ranked high on a

list of priority community agencies, with whom the city annually contracts for services and provides the necessary and appropriate revenues to pay for these services.

As important to us, as any object in our collection, is the relationship that has existed and will continue to exist between the City of Holland and the Holland Historical Trust; two independent organizations who share a mutual respect and common vision for our future.

This WWI machine gun was donated in 1938, as part of a large donation of objects from the Getz Farm/George Getz collection.

This gun has the date “1917” below the initials “DWM”, which stands for “DEUTSCHE WAFFEN-und MUNITIONSFABRIKEN”, a German weapons and munitions public limited company, created in 1896. Information provided by Rick Jenkins, HHT Registrar.

Steven W. RosenInterim Director

We look at cars, clothes, menus, books, and what we look like every day. Taken all together, looking tells us about ourselves and about others. For instance, there is a picture in our museum, on the second floor, that was painted by a Dutch artist named Abraham van Strijl. Called a “Family in an Interior”,

the picture offers a view of what the Netherlanders, who came to Western Michigan, may have looked like, what they did each day and how they interacted with those around them. Called a Genre (jawn-raw) picture, it is focused on the daily activities of people, rather than pictures that depict historical events, landscapes, and religious subjects or, in our time, nothing at all.

How did van Strilj accomplish his task of presenting a domestic scene that presents viewers with three dimensions on an otherwise flat surface? Our artist thinks

of his surface as a stage and uses objects that visually tease the eye into believing that we can actually join the family in their space. By thinking vertically, the artist asks us to look into the ceiling, with its hewn timbers angled inwardly. Here one “walks” past the casually placed klompen, broom and stairwell, through the door, between two open shutters directing the eyes straight ahead onto sun dappled path, past

a kneeling woman washing clothes in the canal. Lastly, we walk under the trees, past a standing woman to a house with a blue door. His completed design has created a “foreground” space, where the family is centered. Then, a “middle ground” formed by a brick tiled floor, past the blue tinted plaster and brick wall onto a dirt path. Finally, the “background” space that begins with a canal and boat near the kneeling woman washing her clothes in the canal and ends with a horizontal blocking building.

The picture is filled with details that help the viewer better understand something of their life ways. The composition of the “Family” presents a nursing mother with her child bundled in blankets, while her daughter or maid pours steaming hot water into a metal pitcher resting on a wooden tabletop, laid with a loaf of cut bread and shallow bowl of biscuits. The rakish dressed male, hat askew and eyes down, ponders a glass of ale in his left hand and his ceramic pipe in the other. A nearly sleeping dog cautiously awaits the appearance of the white-breasted cat that, likewise, keeps a watchful eye for the dog. From a compositional point of view, cat and dog form two points of a triangle, that is formed by the head of a women pouring water, thereby compacting and focusing our attention on the domestic scene provided by the artist.

The setting, while not high style, nonetheless gives the viewer a domestic view of a bourgeois family surrounded by some of their most important possessions. The curtained sleeping loft, complete with a bundler and painting on the rear wall, is framed by a simple mantle, displays an ointment bottle and ribbon box. Above an emblematic map of West Africa and the tip of Brazil metaphorically refer to the seafaring goals of the earlier Netherlanders. Additionally, St. Helena, the island on which Napoleon spent his second period of exile writing his memories, is identified and possibly refers to the tranquility that the family now enjoys since the isolation of Napoleon.

Museum 101 - Why look at pictures?


I am very pleased to have been appointed the newest chairperson of the Holland Historical Trust Board of Trustees. Since arriving in Holland, in January 1997, I have been impressed with the work of the Trust members and staff. Their ambitious agenda for preserving the history of the Holland area and educating its citizens and visitors has been astounding. I promise to keep those two important points in focus, during my term as chairperson.

Spring is in the air and the tulips are blooming, figuratively, at the museum’s Wichers Gallery. Thank you to curator Taylor Wise-Harthorn and staff, for all their diligent work that went into this exhibit. On February 23, the exhibit, “Before the Festival: The Improbable Journey of Holland’s Favorite Flower”, opened to museum members and to the public on February 24. Please make plans to visit the Holland Museum while this exhibit is open, and learn the history of the tulip before it became popular in Holland, Michigan. Also, while you are at the museum, be

sure to stop in the Focus Gallery to see the exhibit, “Wish You Were Here: Selections from the Mike VanArk Postcard Collection”. Hundreds of Holland area postcards are on display, showcasing several decades of our local history.

Mark your calendars for the annual Kentucky Derby Party, which will take place on May 5 at the Macatawa Bay Yacht Club. Derby Committee Chairperson, Susan Wolfe, has done a great job at gathering auction prizes and sponsors, along with coordinating a fun evening for attendees. This event has become one of the Trust’s largest fundraisers.

I am looking forward to meeting all of you at upcoming Trust events and learning more about you and your reasons for being a member and supporter of Holland’s Historical Trust.

rendering pot and brass skimmer await their turn in line to prepare the meal.

On the three tiered mantle, supported by a classically inspired with a decorated garland, rests a five piece Delft garniture set placed out of harms’ way. Just below are two wooden insets and a central plaque bearing an inscription reading, “Geduld Overwint” or “Patience Conquers”, which like the map’s emphasis on St. Helena, refers to the stability of Netherlandish life.

“Family in an Interior” is on exhibition in the Dutch galleries on the second floor. Be sure to look behind you to see an example of a skimmer, the ceramic bowl and the Trust’s exquisite seven piece Delft garniture set on top of a an 18th Century Kast. Thank you to Docent Harley Brown for his inestimable help putting this article together!

“Before the Festival: The Improbable Journey of Holland’s Favorite Flower” features the amazing story of the tulip. At the member preview, guests learned about the tulip’s origins and how it arrived in the Netherlands. Visitors were treated to beautiful tulips not only in the Wichers Gallery, but also in the museum lobby. But, you won’t find any real flowers in the exhibit! We don’t want a potential insect problem in the museum! Sponsored by: Come and check out our brand new exhibitions this spring!

Make History! Volunteer!Do you enjoy history, working with children, or

teaching? If you said yes to any of these, you might make a perfect docent or education docent! A docent is a trained volunteer who serves as a tour guide and welcomes visitors by telling them about the museum, the collection, and current exhibitions. Education docents give specific tours to school children, college classes, and inquisitive adult groups.

Unique skills, such as foreign language, are valued but not a requirement. Enthusiasm, a desire to learn, and commitment are always the most valuable characteristics of a docent. Monthly training is required. Stop by during open hours and chat with a current docent to learn more!

This spring is a great time to get started! Accepting applications for the Holland Museum and Cappon House/Settlers House. Email Taylor at [email protected] for more information.


Spring Event!

We are so excited to invite you to this year’s spring event! This will be a fabulous evening of wonderful festivities, including a delicious plated

dinner, live and 10-bid auction items, prizes, and great company, all to raise support for the Holland Museum.

A little fun history is the ever so popular Mint Julep, famous drink of the Kentucky Derby. According to the Derby Museum, Mint Julep became Churchill Down’s signature drink in 1938 when they started to serve the drink in sourvenir glasses for 75 cents each. Today the Kentucky Derby serves more than 80,000 juleps over the two-day event, which takes place the first Saturday of May each year. Mint

Julep first appeared in print in 1803 described as a “dram of spirituous liquor that has mint in it, taken by Virginians in the morning.” Some historians say Mint Julep was born in

the early 1700s somewhere in east coast. First Mint Juleps weren’t perhaps mixed with Bourbon, rather rye whiskey or rum or other available spirits. Today, this popular Derby beverage is generally mixed with water, sugar, mint leaves, and Bourbon.

By Joel LefeverFormer HHT Director (2007)

In 2002, daughter Beth Wichers DuMez encouraged a friend in the Washington D.C. area to donate the personal collection of her grandfather and civil engineer, Jean Theodore van Gestal. Van Gestal was the first European to survey the interior of New Guinea. He planned the first rail line on Java and witnessed the 1883 volcanic eruption of Krakatoa. His surveying instruments and breathtaking account of Krakatoa, though not fine or decorative arts, were unusually significant and exotic additions.

Prior to 2002, the vast majority of the museum’s Netherlands collection consisted of archival materials, historical objects, and decorative arts. That changed with a pair of serendipitous events that occurred the same week: the donation of a pair of pendant portraits by the Delft painter to the House of Orange-Nassau, Michiel van Mierevelt; and the visit of retired facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Jan Beekhuis. Fine art, it turned out, was on its way to the collection of the Holland Museum.

The Van Mierevelt portraits of Delft mayor Cornelis van Beresteyn and wife Jannetje Berckel, painted in 1617, were found at separate auctions and reunited by the New York City art dealer Otto Naumann, and purchased for the Holland Museum by an

anonymous local donor. The van Beresteyns were among the wealthiest citizens of the early Dutch Republic, and Van Mierevelt was probably the most successful Dutch portrait painter of the early 17tth century. In the 19th century the portraits were possibly sold by a descendent: Cornelis was purchased by a French collector and Jannetje found her way to New York City. The nearly life-sized portraits in ebonized frames are large, and as I explained to the donor, the museum didn’t have any available wall space on which to hang them. For a number of years, museum staff and Board had discussed the possibility of creating new gallery space, but having significant paintings in the collection with no exhibit space prompted the commencement of serious planning. Construction of the New Dutch galleries began four years later in the fall of 2006.

The very day the museum’s Netherlands curator, Nella Kennedy and I, first had photographs of the soon-to-be-donated portraits, an older gentleman with a South African accent visited the museum, asked for the senior discount, and wondered if he could speak to the curator. He explained that he had a collection of Dutch paintings from the Romantic Period and the Hague School. He was looking for the opportunity to exhibit them and possibly make donations. His name was Dr. Jan Beekhuis, born in South Africa to Dutch immigrant

parents, and following retirement as facial reconstructive surgeon and head of the plastic surgery department at Wayne State University, began collecting Dutch paintings like those he grew up with in his childhood home.

Dr. Beekhuis had

never before visited Holland, Michigan and now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife Mary Ann. He learned of the museum on the Internet, and felt that the museum’s traditional Dutch focus made it an appropriate place to exhibit his collection. Additionally, the Beekhuises wanted to give back to Michigan, having found their success in Michigan.

The rest of the story, as we say, is history. Back to back exhibitions from the Beekhuis collection, Waiting for Van Gogh in 2004, and Dutch Impressionist Paintings from the Beekhuis Collection of 2006 were well received, and the Beekhuis family has donated nearly seventy paintings to the Holland Museum with the promise of more to come. The Board, staff, and museum members sincerely thank the Beekhuises for their generous support and contributions to the museum over the years. Not to be outdone, local donors have given significant 17th, 18th and 19th century paintings and decorative arts to the museum, in January of 2007, with the addition of, among other things, a carved oak Renaissance marriage kast of circa 1630 from the De Groot family of

Hoorn, as well as an 1818 painting and a sketchbook of the Dordrecht painter Abraham van Strij.

Dutch Ambassador Christiaan Kröner officially opened the

Dutch Galleries on May 8, 2007, and we are pleased that you, distinguished members of the Holland Historical Trust, have joined us in celebrating the “home for Dutch culture” in Holland, Michigan.
