HOLLAND, MI -- Staff at Nelis’ Dutch Village in Holland are hoping to find the owner of a digital camera left there over the summer that contains nearly 6 years of photos.

The small digital camera was found in the park in July and remained unclaimed through September. Staff noticed that a memory card was still in the camera and purchased a battery charger to charge the camera in hopes to identify someone in the photos, according to a manager who did not want to be identified.

Unclaimed lost items at Dutch Village typically remain there for 30-60 days before they are taken to an area Goodwill, the manager said. However, with valuable items, staff does what they can to try to locate the owner.

The Holland tourist attraction posted a handful of pictures that they felt were “most appropriate without violating someone’s privacy” on its Facebook page on Nov. 21.

"We need your help! These folks visited us in July and left their camera. Can you share these photos, and maybe someone will recognize them and we can get the camera back to them," Nelis' Dutch Village posted.

“… After we bought a battery charger to see if still worked, we saw 6 years worth of family photos saved on it, and we'd love to see it get back to them. Thanks in advance.”

The manager did not know the type of camera or how many photos are on the memory stick. However, some photos dated to 2008.

One photo – imprinted with the date July 9, 2014 -- shows an older man standing in front of the shops at Dutch Village. A couple of the photos show the same man and a woman at Brockway Mountain in Copper Harbor in the Upper Peninsula. They are also pictured with another couple in the same location – sitting on a wooden bench under a map of Keweenaw County and a sign that reads, “West Bluff.” The pictures feature the date of June 2012.

The man and woman in the photos are also found posing in front of a John Deere tractor at a baseball field with a printed date of Aug. 20, 2011. The tractor bears a sign from Reynold's Farm Equipment, which is based in Atlanta, Ind., according to its Facebook page.

“This photo looks like it was a few years ago,” the farm equipment company stated in the photo’s comments. “I can tell that it was taken at Victory Field, home of the Indianapolis Indians AA baseball team when we had a couple of back-to-back sponsor events. That's all I can tell you about the photo.”

“We have no idea where they’re from,” the Dutch Village manager said of the man and women in the photos. “I’m sure they want (their photos) back.”

Those who might be able to help identify the people in the photos are urged to call Dutch Village at 616-396-1475; send an email to info@dutchvillage.com or comment on their Facebook post.
