Interesting exhibition on peat workers uprising in the beginning of 20th century. Not so big, but is giving a good and clear impression.

If you cycle through the beautiful landscape, you have no idea what happened on the peat one or two centuries ago. This becomes clear in this cozy open-air museum. Recommended! But I already had a sparked interest. A year ago I visited the museum in Gorredijk which, oh so nicely, explores the appalling conditions of the peat workers, the contrast with the rabidly rich upper class in Beetsterzwaag and the workers' struggles in history. It Damshus brings the museum photos of the life of the peat families to life. A nice day trip by bicycle starts with a visit to the museum in Gorredijk, a tour through Beetsterzwaag to view the country houses and ends with a visit to It Damshus in Nij Beets. And yes, if corona allows it, you could visit a performance in the Lawei in Drachten in the evening. Because you already know what a noise is.

Nice open-air museum about peat extraction at the beginning of the last century in Nij Beets. Very informative; recommended
