Museum voor Oorlogshistorie 1940-1945: local questions in Midwolda

If you want to explore Midwolda’s wartime history, you can make enquiries in advance with this private museum on the Hoofdweg. The available descriptions of visits emphasise the local perspective.

Plan your visit ↗

A clearly defined subject

TracesOfWar describes the museum as a presentation covering the period from mobilisation to liberation. Use that thematic thread to prepare: which aspect of life in Midwolda would you like to understand better?

Archive material and explanation

Visitors’ descriptions mention newspapers and objects, with explanations from the owner. That is an indication of the kind of visit, not a current inventory. When you get in touch, ask which materials are available and whether there is an opportunity for an explanation.

Bring a question

A local street name, a family question or an interest in old newspapers can be a useful starting point. Don’t automatically expect the museum to have every answer. Above all, ask how an item is dated and linked to the local area.

Before you go

The weekend hours mentioned come from secondary guides and a tourist leaflet. Confirm before you set off that a visit is possible.
