Cheese and butter

The organisation mentions a dairy corner on cheese and butter making. In the display, follow the actions rather than just looking at the objects. What happens first, and which tool belongs to the next step?

Working on tools

A carpentry workshop and a smithy are mentioned in the open-sided barn (kapschuur). See how these spaces relate to the farming objects. Ask which tasks the museum uses them to explain and how the tools were used in those tasks.

Large equipment, small actions

Farm machinery, ploughs and milk kettles (melkketels) are also part of what is described. Choose one large and one small object to understand side by side. Scale alone does not tell you how much knowledge or skill was needed to use them.

Before you go

Check the start and end dates of the season. The museum mentions wheelchair access and a stairlift; discuss any specific access needs in advance.
