The small town of Holland has retained its charm and beauty and is a shining example of the traditional New England village, making it an ideal place for people to call home. 

Nestled amongst two hill ranges, Holland was settled in 1730 by Joseph Blodgett and incorporated in 1783 after splitting off from Wales, which had, in turn, separated from Brimfield. Holland was named after Lord Holland, an English statesman who lobbied for the independence of the American colonies. 

Over the years, Holland has sustained various industries, including farming, the manufacturing of cloth, and brickmaking. Today, Holland is known for its extensive recreational facilities and activities, such as trout fishing at the Hamilton Reservoir, and the swimming area and park at the picturesque Lake Siog.

The Holland Community Center was originally built as a Senior Center but has since evolved to include people from the community of all ages, including the large number of veterans living in Holland. Nearly a third of Holland’s veteran residents are over the age of 65, much higher than the statewide 18%
In addition to focusing on veterans, the Community Center is dementia-friendly, meaning everything that they do needs to be seen through the lens of what a person living with dementia needs.
With such a wonderful sense of community support, it is no wonder that so many of Holland’s seniors wish to “age in place” in their own homes rather than leave their familiar surroundings and move into an assisted living facility.
