New Exhibit — Foundations: A Journey Through Our Built Environment
June 2025 – January 2026
The built environment surrounds us, shaping our daily lives. From homes and roads to factories and public spaces, these structures reflect the values and aspirations of the people who created them. The Foundations Exhibit explores Zeeland’s architectural and infrastructural evolution — from the first log cabins of Dutch settlers to the modern developments that define our city today. Step inside and journey through Zeeland’s past, present, and future as we celebrate the people and places that have built our community.
