Charming spring getaway: Holland, Michigan
Named after: you guessed it…Holland, this sweet Midwestern gem copies its namesake by keeping the tulip tradition alive and well every spring with its Tulip Festival. It happens each May and has been around since 1929 when the town mostly included Dutch immigrants.
The area has a 250-year-old Dutch windmill that’s a MUST-SEE if you visit. Being only 30 minutes away from Grand Rapids, you can make this charming spring getaway a stop on a family road trip or your main destination.
You can even go on a 6-7-hour guided tour through Holland’s most exciting historical highlights. Either way, it’s sure to charm you if you’ve never been!
Reminiscing about my visits to your “7 Small Towns”. I’ve been to all of them except Holland Michigan. My FAVS? Cody, WY and Pella, IA. To others reading this make sure you get to the tulip festival at Pella and be sure to take in a rodeo & shopping at Cody, WY.
