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.

Noordelijk Scheepvaartmuseum

The northern Maritime Museum is situated in two beautiful medieval buildings in Groningen. The museum shows the history of the ship transport in the north of the Netherlands and the history of Groningen. Additionally, you can visit changing art and history exhibitions throughout the year in our museum. To know how Groningen looked like in the Middle Ages, you can view the special virtual reconstruction of medieval Groningen.

A splendid museum housed in two heritage houses in the centre of town we are introduced to maritime life and the manner in which it was lived in the 18th century. There are pictures and paintings, portraits of well known notables, shipping paraphernalia and objects and the piece de resistance being the numerous scale models of schooners and rigged vessels in all shapes and sizes. Spread over four wooden floors it is a feast for both the mariner in you and us alike.

Menkemaborg

Reviewed By sallyt403 - Halkirk, United Kingdom

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

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.
