Museum De Koloniehof

The museum presents exhibits about the Dutch colonization efforts through artifacts, photographs, and documents spanning multiple exhibition rooms and historical buildings.

Museum De Koloniehof opened in 1993 to commemorate the 175th anniversary of Maatschappij van Weldadigheid, which relocated impoverished citizens to undeveloped regions.

The exhibition spaces showcase the daily life of early settlers through reconstructed homes, agricultural tools, and personal belongings from the colonial period.

Visitors can access a database to research their ancestral connections to the colonies while exploring the museum's exhibits and surrounding historical structures.

The museum features original colonist homes from 1818, allowing visitors to walk through preserved living spaces of the initial settlers in the Free Colonies.
