Holland straddles the shores of Lake Macatawa in western Michigan, and the lake’s channel connection to Lake Michigan has long tied the city to the water. Founded in 1847 by Dutch immigrants led by Albertus van Raalte, Holland retains a visible Dutch-American identity in its civic traditions. Each spring, Tulip Time fills the city with tulip displays, parades and performances. At Windmill Island Gardens, De Zwaan—an original Dutch windmill brought from the Netherlands—anchors the grounds. Downtown’s heated sidewalks are designed to help keep pedestrian routes clear in winter. Browse additional webcams from the Lake Macatawa area to extend your view of western Michigan.
