Dekker Huis Museum — Attraction in Zeeland

The experience me and the fam had here was sublime! We were greeted by a very knowledgeable member of the museum who was an exceptional host. She checked in on us often, told us rich stories of Zeeland's history, gave us some Windmill cookies, and when she couldn't answer our questions she called someone who did and came back with the answer. The museum itself is housed in an 1876 home, called the Dekker Huis, once belonging to a prominent Zeeland businessman. Each room in the house is dedicated to a different part of Zeeland's history, from it's pioneer days to war time. All of us were quite surprised to find out how big the museum actually was. They have a trove of artifacts and treasures, and quite the extensive history for being such a small community. Any chance you may have, the Zeeland Museum is well...

It's a small museum, probably takes half an hour if you're just browsing, an hour if you're invested. There's arts and craft stations set up for kids (or the child-hearted).

Expect displays about clocks, an old style grocery store, a bank vault, a tiny frontier shack, and a bunch of Dutch crafts. If you're from the Holland/Zeeland area there's a decent chance you'll see your or a relative's...

Amazing glimpse into the Dutch heritage of this small West Michigan city! Beautifully displayed and chronicled in various rooms. Building appears "small" from outside, really "giant" inside! Really enjoyed ourselves. 2 seventy year olds paired with a pair of 30 somethings! 1.5 hour for thorough visit. Well...
