Schoolhouse Changes
The Zeeland Historical Society has decided to redirect its resources and to focus on providing educational opportunities for our community. As a result we have made the decision to temporarily stop accepting rental requests for the New Groningen Schoolhouse. Please send an email to newgschoolhouse@gmail.com if you are interested in an educational visit at the schoolhouse.
