Moving to the Milk Center of the World

Harvard is a city rich in history and community spirit, famously known as the “Milk Center of the World.” From the iconic Harmilda the Cow statue to the bustling Harvard Milk Days festival, this community offers a unique blend of small-town heritage and modern convenience. Hollander Storage & Moving has been serving Northern Illinois since 1888, nearly as long as the historic Starline Factory has been a local landmark. Whether you are moving into a new build in Shadow Creek, a historic home near Ayer Street, or relocating a business along the Division Street corridor, we provide the professional, stress-free service that Harvard residents expect.

Tips for Moving in Harvard

Plan Around Milk Days

Harvard Milk Days is one of the longest-running festivals in Illinois, taking over the city every June. The event causes significant road closures, particularly around Ayer Street and Brainard Street. We strongly advise checking the festival dates before booking your move to avoid major delays and access issues in the downtown area.  

Metra Station Logistics

For residents moving near the Harvard Metra Station—the final stop on the Union Pacific Northwest line—street parking and truck access can be tight due to commuter traffic. We survey these locations in advance to determine the best loading strategy to avoid disrupting daily commuters.  

Winter Parking Regulations

Harvard enforces a parking ban on all city streets after a snowfall of 2 inches or more until snow removal operations are complete. Additionally, overnight parking is restricted on city streets between 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM. We monitor weather reports closely during winter moves to ensure our trucks can access your property safely without violating local ordinances.

Hollander treated us like family from the very first phone call. Their team relieved all our stress and handled our belongings with incredible care. They wrapped every piece of furniture and protected our floors. Truly the best movers in Chicago for local and long-distance needs. We would not trust anyone else with our home.

This experience was excellent. Our crew was on time, courteous, and very professional. They were clearly experienced … taking any and all measures to move our possessions carefully. Can’t say enough good things about our crew (Kyle, Supervisor; Vedale; Conner, and Turtle). Thank you for doing such a good job!
