The Holland Museum was gifted the Cappon House in the 1970s by the City of Holland after the passing of Lavina Cappon, one of Isaac Cappon’s 16 children. Lavina was a Home Economics teacher at Holland Public and lived in the house almost her whole life. She recognized the importance of it and decided that upon her death, she would sell the home to the city.
The interior of the home was then given to the Netherlands Museum (now Holland Museum) to restore and turn into a house museum. The house was restored in the 1990s to the early 2000s and is set to the year 1900. This is because Isaac passed away in 1902 and a detailed inventory and photos were taken of every room in the house.
