Start your visit in the original hair salon of hairdresser Kleeven and be amazed by the impressive – and sometimes frightening – equipment that was used here. Discover what a drugstore and bakery with baker’s shop used to look like. “Clothing, manufactures and haberdashery” is written in elegant letters above a shop. You will immediately see the original cards with darning wool for socks.
Walking through the street you will get to know old crafts, such as the shoemaker, basket weaver, cooper, wheelwright and house butcher. At the end of the street the loom awaits you, surrounded by spinning wheels, shuttles and a loom. Here you will discover how flax was processed into linen, a time-consuming but fascinating process. The craft street breathes the atmosphere of a time when craftsmanship and handicraft were central.
