Dat
ole Hus (That Old House) Heathland Museum was built by Bernhard Dageförde, a teacher, and opened
in 1907. The museum illustrates how the heath farmers lived and worked in the mid-19
century. Part of the heathland museum is a sheep pen on the Emhoff that houses
alternating exhibits.
The
museum aims to interest visitors, particularly children and young people, in the
life and work of the heath farmers: young visitors have free entry to the heathland
museum, something that an increasing number of school classes take advantage
of.
A
stop-off in Wilsede and Dat ole Hus heathland museum is recommended to
all visitors of the Lüneburg Heath Nature Reserve - it is well worth it!
Note:
The
heathland village of Wilsede is located within the car-free Lüneburg Heath Nature Reserve and cannot be reached by car.
Parking:You can leave your car in the visitor car parks
in Niederhaverbeck or Undeloh. From the car parks you can walk or cycle to
Wilsede - or take a horse-drawn carriage!
