Military history in Ede: visit the museum in De Smederij

Platform Militaire Historie Ede manages the Oorlogs- en Garnizoensmuseum (War and Garrison Museum) in De Smederij. Its offer focuses on the garrison and Ede during the Second World War.

Plan your visit ↗

A local scale

The garrison forms a concrete way into military history. Ask how the display connects buildings, activities and the people involved to Ede, without assuming you already know the former barracks site.

Changing subjects

Alongside the main themes, temporary exhibitions are mentioned, including a display on the King's Own Scottish Borderers. Check the run dates if a particular subject is your main reason for visiting.

Beyond the museum room

Talks and tours past historical sites are part of the described range of activities. These have their own dates and conditions and are not automatically included in a casual museum afternoon.

Before you go

Regular opening applies on Wednesdays and certain Saturdays. For groups outside those hours an appointment is needed; confirm guidance and the meeting point in advance.
