Ons Buitenverblijf in Hoogwoud is a private agricultural museum run by Niek and Corrie Houter. Restored horse-drawn implements, farm tools and milk churns make up the described collection.

Plan your visit ↗

Understanding an implement

An agricultural machine becomes clearer when seen in terms of the task it was designed for. At an appointment, ask for an explanation of the movement and operation that go with an implement, rather than looking only at its size.

Milk churns with an origin

The churns mentioned from North Holland dairies offer a different point of reference. Inscriptions can prompt an explanation of the local connection, depending on the examples on display.

Confirm open days separately

In addition to appointments, open days in September are mentioned. The available date information is not unambiguous for the current year, so do not include them in your planning without confirmation.

Before you go

Regular visits are by appointment only. Confirm any open day directly and discuss accessibility of the private premises.
