De Vrijheid: three ways into the local past

At De Vrijheid in Lekkerkerk, three subjects come together: the Second World War, daily life afterwards, and farm work and crafts. You can look at them side by side during a single visit.

Plan your visit ↗

War close to home

The Second World War section contains material donated locally. That suggests an obvious question for your visit: how are the items on display connected to the area? Read the explanations to discover that local significance.

Daily life and work

The display about grandmother’s time shifts the focus to life after the war. The section on agriculture and crafts adds work. Compare the subjects without merging them into a single picture of one period: each section has its own angle.

A visit together

For children there is a treasure hunt and a photo quiz. That lets different ages find their own way of looking. In the meeting room you can break up your visit with a coffee or chat a little longer about what you have seen.

Before you go

Regular opening is on the first Saturday of the month from 10.00 to 15.00; otherwise you make an appointment.
