Historisch Museum Hazerswoude gathers the village in layers

In a historic building on the Dorpsstraat, polder history, the Second World War and Roman finds from the surrounding area come together.

Plan your visit ↗

The polder as a living environment

Ask which sources the museum uses to explain the relationship between water management and living. If a map, photo or object is shown with it, see how place, year and use are explained.

War close to home

Ask how the display links the Second World War with the village. Which personal story or event is central, and what is the explanation based on?

A find needs context

With Roman material, the find site, dating and archaeological context matter more than shape alone. Read labels closely and note any words expressing uncertainty.

Before you go

A municipal document lists opening on Tuesday 08.00–12.00, Friday 09.00–12.00 and Saturday 13.00–16.30, plus by appointment. Older listings differ and the museum’s own website did not offer a reliable schedule. So phone before you set off; admission is free, with a voluntary contribution.
