Tools of the farm
The ‘boeren ark’ (farmers’ ark) includes tools and everyday objects from farm life. Look at shape and wear and try to link each object to a task, without guessing a function if there is no label.
Living and working in one farmhouse
The location itself is part of the story. Note the transition between living quarters and working areas and ask how storage, animals and household affected one another along the daily route through the farmhouse.
A flag instead of a fixed schedule
Secondary research cards mention Wednesday afternoons in July and August, as well as opening whenever the flag is out at the driveway. Another guide speaks of reopening in 2027; that conflict has not been resolved.
Before you go
No website of its own has been found. Treat hours, postcode and current status as unconfirmed. According to the research card, groups can visit all year round by appointment.
