Lekkerkerk door de tijd: local stories in 't Kruisgebouw

The local history room (oudheidkamer) of the historical society gives Lekkerkerk a place of its own to look back. In 't Kruisgebouw, various stories from the village come together in a small-scale display.

A swimming pool to scale

A scale model of the Schuwacht swimming pool makes a vanished or changed setting imaginable. Look at how such a model sums up a place and read the information that goes with it. It offers a very different view from an isolated memory or a written description.

People and societies

The giant of Lekkerkerk and a banner of a choral society offer other ways into the local past. There are also changing display cases. So it is worth asking what is newly on show since a previous visit.

A short afternoon route

The local history room is usually open on the second Saturday of the month, for two afternoon hours. A visit by appointment is also possible. Keep this location on the Poolmanweg separate from other museum addresses in Lekkerkerk, which have different visiting times.

Before you go

Check the next open afternoon. Free admission does not mean the local history room is open every day.
