Holland artifacts on display
Artifacts from Holland, Ind., will be on display at the Dubois County Museum from July 7 to August 16 in honor of the town’s upcoming 150th anniversary celebration.
According to Lee Bilderback, a Holland resident who is providing most of the items, the oldest artifact is a basket dating to the early 1800s from Germany.
The town was settled by immigrants from northern Germany, who named it Holland because they had raised the money for their trip in that neighboring European country.
Authentic wooden shoes made in Holland, Ind., in the 1800s will be displayed. The shoes, made from sycamore trees, were worn to protect the settlers’ feet as they cleared the forest to make way for the town. Wooden shoes were manufactured in Holland until World War I.
