Holland Museum Holding Victorian Christmas at the Cappon House

HOLLAND, Michigan - The Holland Museum is holding its annual Victorian Christmas event at

the Cappon House on Saturday, December 9, 2023, from 12:00-4:00pm.

Travel back 150 years to Christmas in the Victorian Era at the Cappon House, the 1874 home of

Isaac Cappon and his family. Visitors will enjoy the traditional Victorian Christmas decorations

inside and outside the house, learn about Victorian Christmas practices, and hear carols

performed by the Holland Chorale’s Dickens’ Singers. Holland Museum docents will be

available to answer questions about the house and the Cappon family.

For your ticket, you can also visit the Settlers House, a working-class home built in 1867, and sip

hot chocolate in the Cappon’s cozy carriage barn while creating Victorian cornucopia and scrap

art ornaments.

Visitors will also be able to purchase a limited edition 2024 full-color Cappon House 150th

Anniversary Calendar just in time for holiday gift giving! A minimum donation of $25 will

receive a Cappon House 150th calendar and will help support the Holland Museum’s year-long

series of Cappon-focused programs, exhibits, and expanded tours.

No pre-registration required. Tickets can only be purchased at the Visitor’s Center/Cappon

House Carriage Barn located at 228 W. 9th Street on the day of the program. We will stop selling

tickets 30 minutes before the program’s conclusion.

Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for seniors, $3 for students, and free for Museum members and

children ages 6 and under.
