Holland, MI - Grand Haven, Saugatuck, South Haven
video description
Out of the area in this vid Grand Haven is our favorite. South Haven and St Joseph wins the day trip award with Warren Dunes and New Buffalo good as well. Dont forget to grab fresh blue berries when in season. Farmers markets in abundance are our preference for a quick lunch along the way. Many have fresh baked goods available.

Iv been there many times, absolutly beautifull area in the spring summer, and fall. The climate is wonderfully cooler in the hot summer. In the winter, nightmarish snow and ice storms off of lake Michigan! Thay can streatch all the way to Grand RAPIDS. Most Locals are of Dutch desent, I think you can buy your wooden shoes in Wall Mart!

As someone from Holland (The Netherlands) i must say that i see some of the culture very americanized. I would like to see it someday. I wonder what else there is left from the culture the founders of this area brought. Are there any dutch speaking people still

Beautiful video. Suggest you check out the working Dutch Windmill in Fulton, Il. As i understand it, It comes from Holland and was built by Dutch artisans in the city of Fulton. It is a working windmill. My uncle came from Holland Mi. It is a beautiful city.

The only bad thing about Grand Haven is the expressway ends at a drawbridge that malfunctions at the worst times, and when it does you are sitting and waiting. I commuted there for 15 years, and I don't miss driving through it one bit.

Went to Mackinac Island and Detroit ages ago. The whole western and upper peninsula is GORGEOUS. People think of Detroit and don't realize the architectural and natural beauty of these other places.

With so many beautiful areas throughout the U. S, it is nice to see Michigan spotlighted for a change. This video shows the very best of what we here have always known (and perhaps taken for granted.

Nice to see how things are on the other side. I live in Holland, The Netherlands actually. One thing we absolutely don’t have is a Vanilla Latte in our coffeeshops At least not in liquid form

This video had so much potential but it quickly became unwatchable. The editing is terrible - the video shots are too fast and dizzying to watch.
Also, Holland is not pronounced Ho-land.

That is not the only authentic Dutch windmill in the US. Illinois has several, most notably Fabyan Windmill.
