100 Things To Do In Holland Before You Die: #39 - Get Bit By A Goat At Fellinlove Farm

...ok, so the official title is "Pet A Pig Or A Pony At Fellinlove Farm," but hear me out: Shortly after Fellinlove opened, we went to a Live Nativity at Fellinlove! The flier that I linked was dated 2016, which definitely lines up with my memories of the event. For some reason, we were brought into the animal area - we might've gotten there toward the end of the actual live nativity happenings or something. There was a little nudge on my leg, so I looked down and saw a goat staring up at me. I scratched the lil' guy behind the ears, and he nudged my leg again. I started walking away and he followed. Ever so gently, he reached up and nibbled my fingertips. I can't reiterate how gentle it was.

Turns out, the goat was very tame, and had gotten accustomed to getting treats whenever a guest came into the animal area...normally, guests are sequestered from the animal area, and only volunteers are allowed. The goat, through no fault of his own, grew to expect treats and scritches whenever a human was in his area. Since I'd already given the little fella some scritches, he expected a treat...and he knew that hands were where treats came from, so he nibbled me.

I wasn't harmed at all, and in fact, I find the whole event so humorous that I decided to write this entry about the incident.

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...
