Peat and tools

With material relating to dredging and peat cutting, it helps to understand the task behind an object. Read how the museum explains this work before you make connections with the landscape.

The lakes as a subject

Water and land are given attention together in the display. Compare the explanations about the lakes with those about farming life; this brings different aspects of the same region into view.

Taking in the farmhouse

The museum location adds a living and working environment to the subject. Look at the furnishings together with the explanations, without regarding every visible element as original.

Before you go

Check the winter opening and any pass conditions. Groups need an appointment; individual visits are offered on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
