Eemnes in model, headdress and photo archive

The Oudheidkamer uses a former fire station for a free overview of the history of Eemnes and its residents.

Plan your visit ↗

Eemnes-Buiten harbour around 1935

The harbour model makes buildings, water and transport legible at a glance. Then look for a photo that shows one spot from the model from a human perspective.

Regional dress up close

Headdresses and jewellery show material, craftsmanship and social meaning. Compare the fastening and decoration of two pieces, and base any conclusions about their wearers on the accompanying explanation.

Documentation for further study

Photos, genealogy and a library of local-history books offer starting points for family or house research. The online collections can help prepare your visit, but not every archive item is on display in the room.

Before you go

The Oudheidkamer is regularly open only on Saturday 14.00–16.00; groups can arrange another time in advance.
