Landbouwmuseum Avereest: farm work by human and horse

Machines, tools, household items, films and local stories show farming around Dedemsvaart before the engine took over the work everywhere.

Plan your visit ↗

Human and horse power

With the implements, look at where hands or a draught animal supplied the power and how it was converted into work via levers, wheels or blades.

Household items beside machines

Farm life did not take place only in the fields. Compare a household object with an implement and ask how the seasons and labour set the rhythm indoors.

Films and local stories

Images and written memories place the objects in north-east Overijssel. Distinguish between personal experience and general explanation; each tells you something different.

Before you go

Regular opening begins in April and is limited to Saturdays; school holidays add Wednesdays. Winter visits and groups by appointment only. Guided tours do not take place on Sundays and public holidays.
