Story · Openluchtmuseum It Damshûs
You're standing at It Damshûs, an open-air museum in Nij Beets, in the heart of Friesland. Everything here is about peat, and above all about the people who dug it. The museum shows how peat workers lived and worked between 1863 and 1920. It was hard work, in poor conditions.
