== Paarlberg Historical Farm and Museum ==
Peter Paarlberg, Antje's oldest son, built the frame house on the Paarlberg farm that can be visited today in South Holland. The Paarlberg Historical Farm and Museum are nestled along Thorn Creek at the west end of a beautiful 16 acre park in the southwestsoutheast corner of town on Paxton Avenue near 172nd Place. This park is host to the Annual Paarlberg Heritage Festival held on Labor Day. Tours of the original farm house, buggy barn, storage barn and the grounds are presented by the South Holland Historical Society members throughout the day.
 
Peter married Cornelia Van Oostenbrugge on October 31, 1870. They had eleven children together. Peter died on August 10, 1921, and Cornelia died on December 29, 1927. Peter's descendants donated the original Paarlberg homestead to the South Holland Historical Society in 1970.<ref>{{cite web|title=History|url=http://paarlbergfarms.com/History.html|website=paarlbergfarms.com|accessdate=13 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160221090309/http://paarlbergfarms.com/History.html|archive-date=21 February 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>
