Peat and Settlement Museum
The peat and settlement museum is a local museum and moor museum in Wiesmoor .
It offers its visitors an insight into the hard life and work of the first Wiesmoor settlers during the period of moor colonization from 1780 to the time of reclamation from 1906. The museum consists of several original, rebuilt buildings. This includes, among other things, a historic village school, a blacksmith's shop and a colonist's house , which reflects the time around 1900. With the reconstruction of this colonist house in 1988, the museum was founded. The wedding room is located in another colonist house. The completed in 2011 entrance building houses a village restaurant and a grocery store .
The museum, which can be visited from April to October, also offers hands-on activities: Visitors can help bake bread in the bakery, get married in the wedding room or drink a cup of East Frisian tea. In addition, the various large peat cutting machines and peat ships can be viewed on the site. The historical techniques, devices and machines that can be demonstrated are constantly being expanded.
A moor railway leads from the Wiesmoor flower hall to the museum.
