Pump House Museum opens for Tulip Time with mystery exhibit

HOLLAND — The Pump House Museum at Ottawa Beach will be open for Tulip Time 2026, giving visitors the opportunity to preview a new and engaging exhibit, “Famous Faces – Local Places.”
Visitors will discover the stories behind six influential individuals connected to the area.
In a creative twist, the identities of the featured figures are being kept secret. Promotional materials show only silhouetted profiles with question marks — leaving visitors to uncover who they are by visiting the exhibit in person.
The exhibit explores a diverse group of individuals from different eras whose time in Holland helped shape their values, creativity, and sense of purpose. Their stories reflect themes of leadership, justice, and service, and demonstrate how local experiences can lead to regional, national, and even international impact.
Please consider becoming a monthly donor!
“Famous Faces – Local Places” also highlights the connection between people and place — examining how Holland influenced these individuals, and how they, in turn, helped shape the community.
The Pump House will be open for Tulip Time 11 a.m.-6 p.m. daily.
