Eastmanville Poor Farm History

Poor Farm (H03-MP1513)

What do a reformer, an aerospace executive, and a man saved by a beer have in common? They all lived in Holland and at the Eastmanville Poor Farm during their lives. As county citizens celebrate the sesquicentennial of this important site, come learn more about Ottawa County’s home for the poor and needy from local historian and author Marjorie Viveen through her ten years of research. Please join us at the Holland Area Historical Society monthly meeting for this free event on Tuesday, October 11, 2016, at 7:30 p.m., at the Maas Center Auditorium, Hope College, 264 Columbia Avenue, Holland.
