[post_page_title]The Last House on Holland Island[/post_page_title]
This house was originally built in 1988 and has stood strong for over a century. The Victorian-style home was a part of the first successful island colony in Chesapeake Bay, until the land’s mud and coastal erosion slowly deteriorated the colonial families’ homes and living conditions. A tropical storm in 1918 was the straw that broke the camel’s back for the early settlers, so they packed their bags and abandoned their first American home. There have been a few attempts to preserve the last remaining piece of Holland Island but as the story goes, you just can’t find mother nature.
