Zeeland Historical Society’s House Plaque Program recognized houses in the City of Zeeland, Zeeland Charter Township, and Holland Charter Township that are over 70 years old and maintain their original exterior architecture. The program is a way to highlight preservation efforts by inspiring further community involvement and interest in the town’s architectural heritage. It has helped foster a connection between residents and their local history, encouraging the preservation of the area’s unique character for future generations.

For a home to qualify for a house plaque, it must meet the following criteria:

1. Property must lie within the City of Zeeland, Zeeland Township, or Holland Charter Township boundaries.

2. The structure must be at least 70 years old.

3. The structure was primarily built and used as a residence.

4. Original exterior architecture is retained.
