War History Museum 055: a small war display with an outdated schedule

A compact private collection on the Loolaan covers the Second World War, but alongside Saturday hours, the website also contains old dates from 2019.

Plan your visit ↗

Small in scale, local contact

Ask the custodian which objects have a demonstrable link to Apeldoorn, the liberation or the Seaforth Highlanders, and which are currently on display.

Re-enactment and museum

The owner is linked to a re-enactment group. Distinguish between an original object, a replica and worn reconstruction gear; each has a different evidential value.

The schedule is not automatically current

‘Every Saturday’ appears alongside outdated special openings. Without recent primary confirmation, even the regular Saturday slot is uncertain.

Before you go

Call before you set off. Outdated calendar entries make the current opening uncertain, and this profile is no guarantee that the door is open on Saturday.
