“Los Hoes” from Harreveld, the Netherlands - circa 1773

In this “Los Hoes”, “aisled” or “open homestead’, the occupants lived together with their livestock in a single large room, in which cooking was done over an open fire. At the back of the farmhouse were deep-litter stalls in which cows and pigs were kept. The façade at the front of the building is a half-timbered structure, with clay used to fill the panels.

Many small farmers from the sandy regions of the Netherlands were unable to make a living from farming alone. In the side rooms of this farmhouse you will therefore find a weaving room containing two looms. These were used to try and generate a little extra income.

This small farmhouse catches your eye as soon as you enter the museum, mainly because of its beautiful blue colour, which was supposed to keep flies away from the farmhouse.
