Vredegoed shows farm life in the peat district

In Tienhoven, farm displays, guides and the nature around the farmyard bring together rural life in the Vechtstreek between around 1900 and 1950.

Living and working on the farmyard

Tools and furnished rooms show how household and farm were intertwined. Choose one daily task and find all the places and objects it required.

The peat landscape outside

The Klompenpad (clog path), cycle route and whisper boat (fluisterboot) make water, soil and land division visible. Combine the information inside with one short outdoor route and notice the differences between historical use and today’s experience of nature.

Live farmyard birds

Cameras at the kestrel and barn owl give a view of the animals currently around the farmyard. Availability depends on the breeding season and the technology; it is not a guaranteed museum exhibit.

Before you go

The 2026 season runs 21 March–31 October, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday 12.30–16.30; the small attic is not wheelchair accessible.
