Historic plaque detailing the Dutch settlements in the Holland Marsh

A historic plaque in the hamlet of Ansnorveldt detailing the Dutch settlements in the Holland Marsh. It's funny that Dutch emigrants would move to Canada and seek out a low-lying marshy area with lots of canals that was quite similar to what they left behind. Also, I didn't realize that the Holland Marsh as a farming area was established as recently as the 1930s.
