We had a splendid Amherst tour. The guide was very good prepared, and seemed to know everything. We as audience had a hard time asking challenging questions. Good mix between "dry facts" and funny or emotional stories. Good price. No complaints.

We visited on a wet satutday mid june. There was a well shaded free carpark which was good as dogs are not allowed in. It is a short walk up a tree lined drive to the house. We were greeted by a gentleman in the house who spoke excellent english & who gave us leaflets in English & offered an audio guide. The house was extremely interesting with lots of little strange items. You daw both the owners & the servants areas which is something I always enjoy seeing both sides. The gardens made a relaxing walk & were beautifully laid out. Free with the museum kart.

Veenkoloniaal Museum Veendam ( Amsterdam Peat Museum) is one of the most surprising museums in the province of Groningen. In the 17th century investors from Amsterdam invested their money in the enormous Bourtanger Moor. Peat (turf/veen) was brought by small vessels to city's like Amsterdam and Gouda.The museum not only tells about peatdigging, but also about the Golden Age of this region, the 19th century! The age when 60% of the Dutch fleet was located in little towns like Veendam, Wildervank and Pekela. They traded f.e.with the town of Riga. It also the century of Anthony Winkler Prins who wrote his encyclopaedia in Veendam and century of William Albert Scholten, the first multinational in the Netherlands. Succesfull in trading in potato starch, straw- and cardboard. Besides the (permanent) story of the region, the museum organizes interesting art and historical exhibitions.

It’s an awesome market with many fresh fruits. I definitely recommend the fries in the market! And the Portugese egg tart is also quite good.

The first station building was completed in 1865 and demolished in 1894. The second and current station building was designed by Izaak Gosschalk, completed in 1896, and most recently restored in 2000. Train services started in 1866 and are currently provided by Nederlandse Spoorwegen and Arriva. There are 41 bus services at the station provided by Qbuzz. Since 1961 my parents moved with me from Schiedam to Eelde, a nearby village, so in those days we used the train to visit grandparents near Amersfoort often. In those years the beautiful ceiling in the entrance hall was hidden by a low white simple and cheap one. In the early nineties I guess there was a huge restoration project of the railwaystation. All of this old beauty was revealed again and since then it is a must see in the town Groningen stop ,whenever I have visitors from other places to show them around.
