100 Things To Do In Holland Before You Die: #4 -Take A Break From Your Inner Dutch At The Curragh Irish Pub

Nestled in the heart of Downtown Holland sits the Curragh Irish Pub. Opened in 2004, The Curragh has garnered a reputation as being one of the best Irish pubs in the West Michigan area - their famed Guinness-breaded fish and chips are, according to some, the most traditional fish and chips in North America...I'm really reaching back trying to remember who told me that; it was a dear sweet old woman who I was assisting when I worked at a business in Downtown Holland, but I cannot remember where. The fish and chips are really stinkin' good, but then again, so are the mozzarella sticks. Can't sleep on their burgers either, although after CoVid-era supply chain disruptions, Curragh has revamped their menu a little.

With 24 beers on draught at any given time, they've got a great beer selection, too - Two nitro lines keep the Guinness flowing all the time, which leaves one nitro tap up for rotation. They've always got a solid stock of beers from the UK - as mentioned, Guinness is on all the time, and they'll otherwise rotate through UK-based beers like Kilkenny, Old Speckled Hen, Smithwick's, Harp Lager, or Boddington's (just to throw out a few examples). They've got some Michigan craft beer staples, and a healthy assortment of other craft brews as well.

Somewhere in the middle of it all, I uncovered this menu from The Curragh from sometime between 2012 and 2015.

Merry Christmas from Tulip City!

I don't have a full article this week, but here's a little bit of trivia for you: While Holland is a predominantly Christian Reformed city, it was the early Methodists that sprung the Christmas spirit. While an 1867 Sunday School Christmas Program drew nearly 150 youngsters to Hope Church, it was several generations before the Reformed church allowed even Christmas trees into their sanctuaries, as Christmas trees were seen as Pagan symbols. Early Methodists adopted the 19th Century American spirit, and welcomed things like Christmas trees and even Santa Claus into their sanctuaries. I tried to determine exactly how long "several generations" were using Dr. Swierenga's book (and the sources he cites), but could not ascertain the exact time. It's almost certainly somewhere in the vicinity of 50 years (before the Christian Reformed Churches allowed 'pagan' Christmas symbols), which would put their allowing of such things into the early 20th century, but ...

The Cedar Swamp Village

Holland has only been a settled city for a little over 170 years. But, it's got a dense, unique history. I took an interest in local history during my college years at Northern Michigan University, and was able to take that interest back home after graduation. Recently, I began researching for this blog, and hanging out at the library, poring through the Local History section. I found an old, forboding looking book, entitled Memorials Of The Grand River Valley, flipped open to a seemingly random page, and read the passage "The Indian village, near the southeastern limits of the city,w as also a prominent landing-place. The log-houses, built by the Indians, were of great service to the newly arrived immigrants; and, as it appears, there never has been any trouble between the Red man and the Dutchman." This piqued my interest, as I live near the southeastern limits of Holland. Was there an Indian village in my own neighborhood that history forgot? Memorials ad...

The Ghost Town in Hudsonville

When the term "ghost town" is brought up, one doesn't usually think of modern subdivisions and upper-middle class suburbs. The classic "ghost town" is usually applied to a town that was abandoned when a major industry dries up, leaving crumbling shells of buildings, maybe some artifacts, and nothing but memories. You know the drill, overgrown storefronts, smashed windows, tumbleweeds, maybe a hobo or two. Briefly, there was an interurban rail system all around Western Michigan in the late 19 th and early 20 th century. I won't go into details, as the whole system is well-documented elsewhere, but the electric train systems allowed for the transportation of people all around the major metropolitan areas in West Michigan...Grand Rapids was a major hub, and they had lines going to Grandville, Jenison, and Hudsonville along Chicago Drive; south to Kalamazoo; and as it pertains to this story, to Holland and Saugatuck. The branch between Grand Rapids an...
