The 1876 Dekker Huis was the home and business of Dirk and Leuntje Dekker and their 12 children. The New Groningen Schoolhouse dates back to 1881 when it served as a rural school for children in the Zeeland/Holland area.
The Zeeland Historical Society seeks to meet the following goals:
- Collect artifacts and printed materials that represent and pertain to the citizens of Zeeland and local communities.
- Create museum exhibits that befit the immigrant experience of the present day.
- Provide educational programming in the museum, the New Groningen Schoolhouse, and the community.
- Increase local and regional membership and participation by community involvement.
- Attain financial stability to carry programs to fulfill and maintain properties.
