Het Tramstation keeps more than just rails

In the former WSM station in Schipluiden, permanent displays link tram transport, tow barges (trekschuiten) and Keenenburg castle with changing local history.

Plan your visit ↗

The station as the main exhibit

Look at the platform side, the layout and the details of the building. Ask which elements belong to its use as a tram station and which were later adapted for the museum.

Tram alongside tow barge

Compare the tram and the tow barge as forms of transport. Ask how route, speed and loading capacity are explained in the presentation and what material is available for this.

Keenenburg without a castle

Ask how the presentation deals with the vanished Keenenburg castle and which sources or images are available. Keep proven information and later imagery apart.
