Ellert en Brammert: a route through home and working life
Openluchtmuseum Ellert en Brammert in Schoonoord describes a collection of buildings and workshops centred on life in Drenthe. The route leaves room for looking, explanations and activities.
Different ways of living
Sod huts, a farmhouse and a poorhouse are mentioned. Look at which living spaces are represented and use the explanations to understand the differences, without mistaking a furnished interior for a complete life story.
Workshops as well
A printing works, a smithy and a sawmill bring crafts into the route. Demonstrations depend on the programme; ask which activities are actually taking place on the day of your visit.
A legend as a separate story
Ellert and Brammert themselves also receive attention. Approach the legend as a story within what the museum offers, alongside the displays on living and working.
When you arrive, ask about demonstrations and then divide the route among a few subjects.
Before you go
The ticket office closes earlier than the grounds. Not all the small houses are wheelchair accessible; ask about the available route and wheelchairs on loan.
