The Battle of Bourtange is a 'mock battle', in which the battle for the fortified town from 1814 is reenacted. That battle was between the Dutch army - with help from, among others, Belgium, Germany and England - and Napoleon's troops.

More than 25 years a Roman re-enactor with an interest in all aspects of human life as it was. But as a cheese maker by profession particularly interested in the dairy products of ancient times, both local and Roman.
The craft weekends are entirely devoted to the special historical crafts from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages. Every weekend there is a different theme, such as pottery, blacksmithing or clothing and textile processing.
For anyone interested in crafts or history in general, these are the weekends you don't want to miss!

The open-air museum “de Locht” is an agricultural open-air museum, focusing on the life of farmers on the North-Limburg sandy soils. This includes the growing of asparagus and mushrooms. They collect, archive and present, also in person, about older ways of life, traditions, crafts and folk culture, looking back at the past, but also with a view on the future of North Limburg.
Archaeological research in 2009 led to the discovery of a farm on the grounds of the open-air museum, dating to about 1320 AD. It was decided to reconstruct this farm on site by placing new posts in the exact old postholes. Volunteers then constructed a fully furnished farm.
I am a paleoanthropologist at the Faculty of Archaeology in Leiden University. I'm interested in the use of plants by early hominins and humans prior to agriculture, and how the use and processing of these plants may have shaped our evolutionary trajectory.
