Moynihan Gallery and Framing's 3,500 square foot store is centrally located in downtown Holland, Michigan. This renaissance city is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. More than 180 of Holland's businesses, ranging from gourmet coffee shops, specialty stores, galleries, fantastic restaurants, wine and brew pubs share in the pride of being an 'All-America City and Community' and 'Great American Main Street award recipients'.
Holland is a delightful, commerce community of about 35,000 residents. Include adjacent townships and nearby communities and the population expands to over 100,000. Although one-third of its residents are of Dutch heritage, recent census figures reveal that the community realizes a broad ethnic diversity.
The people of the Netherlands donated our real working authentic Dutch windmill to Holland in the early 1970's They dismantled the mill and brought over piece-by-piece from the Netherlands in the 70's and then reassembled where it resides on Windmill Island. |

Holland's famous Tulip Time Festival hosts more than a million visitors for what is one of the largest flower festivals in the country.
Although small by numbers, Holland has a community population draw of over 100,000. It is also the Home of Hope College a small but highly respected institution of higher learning adjacent to the downtown. Millions of dollars in private and public funds are currently being implemented into what is regarded as phase two of public projects that began with a heated 'snow melt' system under the downtown streets and sidewalks in 1986.
A recent example, is the new '8th Street Market Place', sandwiched between the downtown and Lake Macatawa, a short distance away. This is the most highly touted farmer's market in West Michigan. Produce farmers now sell their products every Wednesday and Saturday shaded under contemporary ridged awnings suspended over wide walks of brick pavers hiding a network of snowmelt plumbing just under their surface.
A new and modern city police facility stands across the street along with a companion courthouse now under construction.
Scheduled to open in the fall of 2006 is Hope College's new enclosed Devos Stadium situated on the eastern edge of downtown.
On the western edge of downtown, Lake Macatawa bridges Holland with Lake Michigan about 7 miles away. This provides wonderful inland boating but also access to the 'big lake' for the more adventuresome. The beaches of Holland are among the best in the country!
Visitors should plan on spending extra time when visiting Holland, Michigan. Bring your bikes to enjoy riding any part of the scenic miles of bike paths in and around the city. Definitely bring your swimsuits to enjoy our new aquatic center or Holland State beach, one of the finest in the Midwest. There you can enjoy 'Big Red' a most distinctive and unusual lighthouse. Or just stroll the brick sidewalks in the beautifully renovated downtown. Sit down and relax for a cup of coffee or dinner at one of many outdoor tables provided by the restaurants and coffee shops.
Moynihan Gallery is located in the first block of the one-way portion of 8th street (8th St. is the main street through the downtown retail area). Look for us in the middle of the block between College and Central on the south (left) side of the street. Get a map to Moynihan Gallery & Framing.
