Historic Dutch Sites in the Holland/Zeeland Area

This is an illustrated guide to almost 50 historic Dutch sites, plus detailed maps of the sites and an eleven-city bike tour.

This guide is a revision and expansion by Robert P. Swierenga of one by Henry Ippel, which was published in 1996 by the Dutch American Historical Commission (DAHC).

This new version of Dutch Sites has 18 additional sites, many new photographs and some excellent detailed maps by Mark Cook. One of the most significant changes is the addition of colored maps as a centerfold and as a separate enlargement that has been tucked into every guide.

A special feature of this guide is the addition of the Elfstedenfietstocht (Eleven-City Bicycle Tour), which is modeled after the Elfstedentocht (Eleven-City Tour), which consists of a skating tour to eleven cities in the northern provinces of the Netherlands held whenever the canals are frozen solid. The route for the bicycle tour was developed by an ad hoc committee of Greg Holcombe, chair; Henk Aay; George Heerema; and Jacob E. Nyenhuis.
