We got a tour of the settler house where the family started and the house where they ended with being the first Mayor of the town. The houses are fully furnished with mostly original pieces. You get a great idea of how the family lived back then.

Really enjoyed the docents narrative. Many examples of the restoration and original wallpaper/flooring. Very high percentage of original artifacts. Interesting to see how the wealthy lived in the 1870s.

Very interesting sites an images. During tulip festival, it is a self guided tour.

History at its finest

If you love flowers and havent been to Holland Michigans tulip festival, do it You wont regret it.

Great historical place for our community.

This is a fantastic little museum. I attended with one of my classes some years back and enjoyed learning a lot about the different historical documents and artifacts from the not-so-distant past.

Cozy lil place to see a bit of history

I love stepping into The Cappon House, as Im following the footsteps of my great-grandmother, who was related to the family and played here as a child. Its especially cool seeing the kids toys. This Italianate home was built by Hollands first mayor and tannery owner, Isaac Cappon, after the fire of 1871. Used by the family until 1980, the building has been restored and furnished with Grand Rapids furniture. The Settlers House (1867) survived the fire. It was built by Canadian shipbuilder Thomas Morrissey. If you love history, check out #DiscoveryMichigan tours and experiences! #HistoryTour #FurnitureCity

Nice!

This place just amazes me. Took my husband and it was. Great inexpensive date

Knowledgeable staff, interesting history

After living in Holland for a few years I decided to get into the history of the town and the first mayor. Had a wonderful tour of the Cappon house and the Settlers house. I must note though that I noticed another view that someone posted about the Settlers house being the house that the Cappons first inhabited. That is inaccurate. In the very beginning of the tour, the tour guide tells you how the Cappons previous house had been ruined in the fire of 1871. Also when you go to the Settlers house there is a list of all of the pervious owners of the house. The Cappon family is not on the list. The Holland Museum and Cappon and Settlers House are definitely worth a visit.
